Cubed Electronic Puzzle Game
Some puzzles are hard. They are puzzles to the power of one. Some puzzles are super hard, and those are puzzles to the power of two (Puzzle Squared). This puzzle game is so difficult, it's puzzle to the power of three (Puzzle Cubed, or Cubed Electronic Puzzle). Ok, so you can argue the puzzle pieces are also cubes, and that's why it's called what it is - but just go with us, mmkay? Because this puzzle really is hard; it's actually 600 different puzzles in one.
Here's why:
Cubed (for short) is composed of four electronic cubes. Each one is surrounded on four sides by magnetic connectors, and each displays 1/4 of the puzzle on its LCD screen. Now, you just have to figure out how the pieces connect together as you connect the cubes via their magnets. There are even two separate games you can play: you can make pictures and icons by forming a square shape, or you can form words in a rectangular shape. All 600 puzzles are shown in the instruction manual, but when you hear the timer beeping down, there isn't enough time to cheat. Get ten puzzles solved in a row and you win. Fail and you are (well, we won't tell anyone...just keep trying until you win)!
- Each electronic puzzle piece has an LCD screen and 4 magnetic connectors. The pieces connect together to form the puzzle solution.
- Two different games: pictures (puzzles are a square) and words (puzzles are a rectangle)
- 600 puzzles in total (300 of each type)
- Cubes have an optional-on backlight
- Includes: Four cube puzzle pieces and instruction manual
- Dimensions: approx. 2.625" cubed
- Batteries: 8 AAA (2 per cube) – included
