Introduction

The 3x3 cube was invented by Hungarian Ernő Rubic in the 1970s and won great popularity around the world in the 1980s. Although more than 40 years have passed, it is still a classic toy and can be found in toy stores. Frankly speaking, despite a seemingly simple gadget at the first sight, it is actually a very difficult game and very few people can solve it by themselves. But, it is still an interesting game. Why not give it a try, solving it by yourself or with a guide.

Here, you may play a classic Rubik's Cube and a 2X2X2 cube. In addition, several new games of playing cubes, created by Interespace.com, are provided. On how to play these games, you may refer to the right column on each of these pages, or the FAQ page.
