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!

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

I got this as a joke present for my colleague at work, who loves completing a Rubik's cube, no matter how many times I mess it up. Managed to find this gem in an attempt to make his solving even more difficult. He didn't know it existed and it's made his solving more difficult! Great creation!

The cube moves nice and smoothly, not as smooth as the magnetic ones but still easy to use. The colour changing stickers look really cool especially when on display. I keep mine on my shelf and it’s fun to watch the colours change as I move across the room. Now about the actual functionality of the cube. It’s definitely doable, but just to give you an idea, I can solve a normal cube within about 2 minutes but this took me about 6 hours to complete. So it’s not simple or beginner friendly. Also I don’t think I could complete it without the solved reference grid (I attached a picture of it) so I don’t know if that’s cheating. The problem is you can’t be sure if the face is entirely correct since the each sticker has two colours so checking with the grid after completing a face is reassuring but I think after doing it a few times I’d probably be able to memorise what the correct colour is for each one. Something I noticed was that there were scratches in some of my stickers which was a little frustrating, and also makes me want to be more careful with the cube since I don’t want to cause more scratches so the quality isn’t the best, hence the 4 stars. But for the price paid, it’s worth it I think. I paid £14.64, (I think the price went down for a bit) but I wouldn’t pay more than £15 for it.

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.

I’m looking forward to seeing my Rubiks genius nephew tackle this one!

Honestly this was one of the funniest things I ever bought. I don't think my roommate will ever forgive me.

This is not a speed cube, slow and clunky to turn. I can do a normal cube in about a minute. I don't think I'll ever solve this. It is too mind-bending. So if you want a puzzle you may never solve, this is for you

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.

​J'ai offert ce Rubik's Cube Impossible à mon neveu qui résolvait le cube classique en un clin d'œil. Je cherchais un niveau plus difficile pour le mettre au défi, et je n'ai pas été déçue : celui-ci lui donne du fil à retordre ! ​🟢 Les points forts : ​Le concept des couleurs changeantes : C’est là que réside toute la difficulté. Les facettes sont lenticulaires : selon l'angle sous lequel on regarde le cube, la couleur change ! On croit avoir aligné une face, mais il suffit de pivoter légèrement le cube pour s'apercevoir que ce n'est pas le cas. ​Challenge relancé : Pour un habitué du 3x3 classique, c'est une toute nouvelle manière de réfléchir. Il ne suffit plus de connaître ses algorithmes, il faut aussi une concentration extrême pour identifier la "vraie" couleur de chaque pièce. ​Qualité Rubik's officielle : Le mécanisme est solide et résistant. Même s'il n'est pas fait pour le "speedcubing" pur (il est un peu plus rigide à cause des facettes spéciales), il tourne très bien. ​Excellent cadeau : C'est le cadeau idéal pour un passionné qui possède déjà tous les modèles standards. Ça change vraiment de l'ordinaire. ​🔴 Les points d'attention : ​Niveau de frustration : Attention, il est vraiment très difficile. Il peut être frustrant pour un débutant. Il est vraiment réservé à ceux qui ont déjà une bonne expérience du cube. ​Éclairage : Il est préférable de jouer sous une bonne lumière pour bien distinguer les variations de couleurs. ​🧩 Verdict : ​Si vous voulez voir un pro du Rubik's Cube douter de ses capacités, c'est le modèle qu'il lui faut ! Mon neveu adore le challenge et passe des heures à essayer de le dompter. Un vrai casse-tête pour les experts !

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!

Excellent casse-tête pour les amateurs de défis. Le concept est original et vraiment plus difficile qu’un Rubik’s Cube classique. La qualité est au rendez-vous et le jeu est très satisfaisant à résoudre. Parfait pour ceux qui aiment les puzzles avancés.
