What 200+ families are saying about the Rapid Rocket
They didn't expect a foam rocket to clear an entire afternoon.
"My son launched this for three hours straight. Three hours. He forgot the iPad existed. That alone is worth every penny, but the rockets genuinely go impressively high too."
"Set it up in less than a minute. My 4-year-old was immediately obsessed. My 8-year-old started trying to work out the best angle for maximum height. Both of them outside, both competing, both happy."
"Bought this for a birthday party. Kids aged 3 to 10 all taking turns to stamp the pad as hard as they could. Parents started joining in. Best £15 I've spent on a toy in years."
"My daughter told me she was learning about gravity. She was just launching rockets into the sky, but apparently that counts as physics now. She's asked for the reload pack so she has spares."
"The foam rockets are proper quality. Not the flimsy things you get in supermarket toys. We've had ours two months with regular use and they're all still in perfect shape. Really impressive for the price."
"We took this to the park and every kid there wanted a go. Ended up sharing with about eight children we'd never met. The launcher holds up brilliantly. Jaques packaging is lovely, made a fantastic gift too."

Why it works
The outdoor toy that actually gets used.
Stamping, sprinting, retrieving, doing it all again. The Rapid Rocket burns real energy, the kind that makes for a calm, tired, happy child by teatime.
Kids naturally start asking why it goes higher at certain angles. Force, air pressure, trajectory, they're learning physics. They just think they're winning a competition.
At 3, the joy is pure: stamp the pad and watch it fly. At 8, they're competing for height. At 40, you're the one who needs one more go. The fun genuinely scales.
Foot-powered. Nothing to charge, nothing to update, nothing to break.
Beautifully boxed, immediately exciting, works the moment it's unwrapped. Parents message us to say the Rapid Rocket is the toy their child talks about at school on Monday.
Jaques of London has been making outdoor games since 1795. We invented croquet. We know what makes an outdoor toy genuinely compelling versus ending up in the shed.

Questions & answers
Everything parents ask before buying
How high does the Rapid Rocket actually go?
With a good stamp on the pad from a child, expect 20-30 feet. Adults can get it considerably higher. The launch height varies with the force applied, which is exactly what makes it interesting. Younger children get impressive results; older children and adults start experimenting with technique to go further.
What ages is it suitable for?
Ages 3 and up. At 3-4, the appeal is pure physical joy: stamp the pad and watch it disappear into the sky. By 6-8, they're competing for height and figuring out technique. The challenge naturally scales, which is why siblings of different ages can all play together, the 4-year-old and the 10-year-old are both genuinely engaged.
Are the foam rockets safe for younger children?
Yes. The rockets are made from soft foam and are UK and EU safety certified. They're designed to be safe on impact, they don't have hard tips or rigid parts. We recommend adult supervision for children under 5, and always make sure nobody is standing near the launch tube when it's being used.
Can the rockets be replaced if they get lost or damaged?
Yes, we sell a Rocket Reload Pack with extra foam rockets, so you're never stuck if one ends up over the fence or gets damaged. Many families order the reload pack at the same time so they always have spares ready.
Can it be used indoors or is it garden only?
Garden, park, or open outdoor spaces are ideal, you need enough vertical clearance for the rockets to fly freely. It's not designed for indoor use. A good-sized garden or any open park works perfectly. Many families take it to the beach or on camping trips too.
What's your returns policy?
30 days, full refund, no conditions. Changed your mind, not what you expected, or simply not right for you, return it and we refund in full within 3 business days. We stand behind everything we make.
Our story
230 years of getting children outside.
Jaques of London was founded in 1795. We invented croquet, table tennis, and the Staunton chess set. For 230 years, we've been thinking about what makes an outdoor toy genuinely worth playing with, not just once, but again and again.
The Rapid Rocket is simple by design. There's no complexity hiding a weak concept here. A child stamps the pad, a foam rocket shoots skyward, they sprint to recover it, and immediately want to go again. That loop is addictive because it works on a physical and instinctive level.
Getting children outside and moving is what we've always been about. Long before screens, we were making the games that pulled families into the garden. The Rapid Rocket is our version of that for the next generation.
Joe, Jaques of London
