Description

It all started with two engineering students. One viral TikTok. 20 million views overnight. Then Walmart, Target, and millions of families can't get enough. Now we're introducing ZipString Aracna.

ZipString Aracna shoots and retracts the string like magic!

Tired of toys that break in a week? Sick of screens stealing childhood wonder? Meet the physics-defying phenomenon that turns anyone into a superhero!

We asked ourselves "What if we strapped a ZipString to our wrist and turned it into a web shooter?" That was the beginning.

After 18 months of intense engineering and development, all those daydreams of being a superhero are about to come true!

ZipString Aracna shoots and retracts a string loop at over 35 mph with the touch of a button. It's physics-defying movement and glow in the dark technology unlocks that superhero feeling we all have inside.

We designed Aracna to be enjoyed by kids and adults alike. We also use advance manufacturing techniques and extremely high quality materials to ensure that you and your family enjoy your ZipString Aracna for years to come!

Pro tip: Slap an Aracna on each wrist for maximum fun!

With millions of ZipStrings sold, Zipsters have invented thousands of creative tricks and shared them with us. The Aracna can do all your favorite ZipString tricks and unlocks even more possibilities!

The tricks you can do with Aracna are endless

From synchronized zipping to epic string battles, enjoy endless fun sharing ZipString Aracna with your friends! 

Not all superheros run solo, Aracna is even more fun with friends!
Battle it out with your friends in an epic web shooting war!

The Fusion String pack is a Kickstarter exclusive pack that includes our customer's top four favorite special effect strings, taking your Aracna to the next level!

The first Kickstarter backers will get a Fusion String Pack included with each Aracna they purchase, while supplies last. Get yours before this limited edition pack is gone!

The Fusion String Pack includes:

Our four most loved trick strings now included with every Kickstarter Aracna (limited quantities available)
 
Our first batch of Aracnas has already finished production and is on the way to our warehouse. We currently expect all Kickstarter orders to ship by the end of October 2025.

Not only is the ZipString Aracna fun for all ages, it has multiple patents and is built with aerospace grade materials, making sure it will be enjoyed for years to come.

We've decided to launch our third product exactly four years after the original ZipString campaign went live because crowdfunding keeps us close to you, our customer. 

Crowdfunding makes it so we don't have to seek more outside investment. Because of that we are able to continue creating awe inspiring toys for all ages to enjoy without fancy board room suits telling us what to create (besides Austin and Stephen).

Not only that, we were born on Kickstarter and want to give our loyal backers first dibs on our limited edition new products. Thank you to all our Zipsters out there!

We spent over 18 months designing the ZipString Aracna and want you, our loyal backers, to experience it first!

Risks and challenges

The are two main risks of backing a Kickstarter project are: 1. Will it get made? 2. Will it ship on time? ZipString has a proven record on and off of Kickstarter. With a successful first campaign and over 2 million ZipStrings shipped across the globe, we are confident that our backers will receive the exact product they are expecting and on time. What's more, we already finished development and have placed our first purchase order with our factory. All Kickstarter Aracnas are currently in production. We expect all Kickstarter orders to be shipped by the end of October. That gives plenty of time for holiday gifting!

Environmental commitments

Visit our Environmental Resources Center to learn how Kickstarter encourages sustainable practices.

Long-lasting design

We use aerospace grade materials, super high quality components and strings to ensure long lasting use. We use ultrasonic welding to reduce plastic emissions and increase durability of the product. We also have patented processes and trade-secret tools we use to create some of our components so that they last longer than anything else on the market.

Environmentally friendly factories

We vet every one of our manufacturers to make sure that they adhere to our guidelines on environmental standards and any waste produced during the manufacturing process is recycled. We also developed special machinery for them to reduce waste during the manufacturing process.

Sustainable Distribution

We have optimized our packaging to reduce the amount of space taken up in shipping. Our goal is to reduce the shipping weight and dimensions to reduce shipping carbon. The lightweight design of our product (under 7oz) reduces space, packaging, and shipping carbon.
