About Us

History and trajectory

More than 20 years turning the game

Trompos Space was born with a simple and ambitious idea: to recover the old top and take it further . We don't sell an object: we build a modern way to play, learn and improve — Less screen , more real gameplay.

In an increasingly digital age, we believe in a game that is experienced : movement, coordination, practice, and pride in mastering something real.

Choose your top. Practice. Enjoy. Repeat.

Real people behind the project

Before there is a product, there is intention. And before there is intention, there are people. What you'll see here is the mix that defines us: tradition , innovation and community .

It all starts with a simple idea: to make the child feel play as something physical again. social and real . From there, our story is a constant evolution: product, technology, community and education.

Our story (with facts)

This story isn't about "making spinning tops." It's about how a traditional game becomes a modern experience. with design, innovation and a clear objective: to make playing active again, shared and with real progress .

    Differentiation: design that invites play

    As demand grows, the need to stand out arises. Spinning tops evolve with it. vibrant colors and textures . They become a must-have in school playgrounds and, over time, pieces prized by collectors. This is where the foundations of the Trompos Space universe are built.

    Professional models: when play becomes discipline

    Saturn is followed by spinning tops like Jupiter and the famous Neptune (metal), along with models valued as Pegasus and Saturn Xtrem . The catalog evolves for players of all ages.

As the product evolves, so does what's behind it. For us, quality isn't just a claim: It's assembly , control , and detail . That's why the next chapter is inevitable: actual production.

Inside: This is how the game is built

Assembly, packaging, and attention to detail. There's no posing here: this is real work . Each top has to come out perfect because the goal is one: that the player feels progress from day one.
