Rubik’s Impossible, The Original 3x3 Cube Advanced Difficulty Classic Colour-Matching Problem-Solving Puzzle Game Toy, for Adults and Kids Aged 7 and up

It is impossible, so don’t buy this expecting to complete this straight away! Hours of in for my child, who completed the first Rubik’s cube and desperately wanted to get this. Well packaged, lovely gift, for problem solver, or fidgeter alike!

My husband loved it, loves his Rubik cubes.

Very nice! It is imposible, really!! If the tradicional is easy for you, this is a good challenge.

Gets you rethinking the cube solutions. It's not impossible, but definitely hard work. You think you are almost there, then realise its impossible to solve the last layer without moving or swapping a couple of pieces in the first or second layer that you thought you'd completed OK! Some edges look the same which ever way you look at them, or match other edges. It's only when you think it's mostly complete that it's more clear to see they don't quite change colour in the same way as their neighbours. Definitely recommend mastering the regular 3x3x3 first. Tried this cold the first time, honestly took me a couple of hours. Once you understand the pairs, it's quicker, but very unlikely to be as quick as a regular cube. You really need to look closely at what you're doing.

(see the bottom for a TL;DR) Firstly I want to point out: the description says "iridescent" but the cube isn't made using iridescent printing, its made using lenticular printing. Personally I dislike how lenticular printing feels so I dont particularly like using the cube. (lenticular printing is used in those '3D' pictures that move based on how you look at them) The cube itself is harder than the average cube, but has "anchors" which are colours that dont change, through these you can learn the algorithms, there's more to it and takes a lot more thinking than the average cube. The build quality is fine, the same you'd expect from any rubiks cube, the colours are well protected since they're covered by the plastic from the lenticular printing. The cube is very much a novelty thing, for me it has become a decoration on a shelf because looking at it for a while bothers my eyes and i dont like the feeling of the printing. I use normal cubes often and even have cubes that have different textures for each colour but id for sure recommend a normal cube (and there's plenty of good cheap non-rubik's) over this one. In short: the cube is fine, but expensive for a novelty. I also personally dont like how it feels due to the printing used to get the effect. I'd recommend a normal cube.

Really pleased to add this cube to my rubix collection. It's definitely more challenging than a standard cube (won't be scrambling it as often!) and looks pretty cool. Sometimes it's hard to see both colours properly if the lighting isn't right which is a bit annoying but other than that I love it

It arrived on time, it is very difficult, I've still not completed, good luck I think it is impossible

The concept is great, the execution not so much. Each sticker has two colours and some of the combinations never seem to resolve into their component colours, no matter what angle you view the cube from. Turning quality feels like something from the 1980s, which just adds to the frustration. Not fun at all.

Esta bien para la colección y nada mas, el giro es terrible, los colores me da la impresión que no están correctos porque algunas caras si bien el punto es que cambie de color con la posición de la luz hay otras que nunca se ven iguales, por eso no lo revolví porque si ya viniendo con incosistencias en el estado "resuelto" desde la fábrica no creo que pueda regresarlo a su estado.

5 stars because I love watching my husband struggle with it. He can solve a regular Rubik's cube quickly but this one has him stumped.

assolutamente da avere. non è certamente veloce nei movimenti, ma fa impazzire. bellissima trovata e piacevolissimo da risolvere...o da non risolvere mai!

Perfect quality.

الفكره ممتازه لكن المكعب صعب الحركه قليلا
