About this deal

Personalised advertising may be considered a “sale” or “sharing” of information under California and other state privacy laws, and you may have a right to opt out. So, you know how you can watch an entire series of a ghost hunting show and you still don’t get any answers. The puzzle had an initial market in early 2009, however the Ghost Cube remained simply a concept cube until puzzle designers took to amplifying the difficulty further – Larger Ghost Cubes were made (as though the original wasn’t difficult enough), and eventually even a 7x7 Ghost Cube was designed (pictured below). All of our products are guaranteed to be free of defects, or we will replace and reship at no cost to you.

This is a challenging puzzle and even after you get used to it, solves still have unexpected new challenges! As an added challenge, if all layers of the cube are aligned in a certain way, another turn becomes possible – straight through the middle of the aligned layers. PERFECT GIFT ITEM: Perfect to gift yourself, family, friends and loved ones, helps keep kids entertained, helps keeps adults entertained, with an added bonus of helping to keep the brain active and healthy! AGE SUTABILITY: Suitable for all ages from 9 years, to challenge younger minds, all the way up to 99 and beyond.

Unlike puzzles with similar solved states such as the Mirror Blocks (a significantly easier puzzle), the Ghost Cube has several different shaped pieces, making the “centre” pieces less obvious to begin with. I'm not a speed cuber so I can't rate it based on how well it cuts corners or handles finger tricks. Many different versions of 3x3 puzzles include sticker modifications (keeping the same 3x3 puzzle, but modifying the shapes/sizes/designs of the puzzle’s stickers to create interesting new puzzles with different challenges), shape modifications (cuboids made from 3x3s, mirror blocks that require the knowledge of shape rather than colour to be solved), and even some shape-shifting puzzles that can be turned in more ways than normal depending on how the layers are aligned, one type of which is known as the Ghost Cube.

This alignment makes some moves impossible until a setup move is performed, and even finding this setup combination that won’t ruin your progress proves incredibly difficult. If you can solve a regular 3x3x3, you can solve one like this, but you really need to think and think completely differently, so it’s a tricky challenge where you really have to keep your tongue in your mouth. Sellers are responsible for following applicable laws and regulations, including posting items with accurate labelling and warnings. In March 2014, four metalized versions (Gold, Silver, Purple and Royal Blue, images 11-15) were manufactured for 36 USD each. As a puzzle, Ghost Cube easily gets a 5/5 rating, but I probably still put a 4/5 on this one because the plastic feels a bit cheap, and the cube as if creaking and cracking when you squeeze it.Like the Mirror Cube, one has to solve by shape, and like the Axis, Fisher, and Windmill cubes and the Mastermorphix, the middles twist. Wish it was of the same quality as, for example, Moyo’s Crazy Fisher, which I bought at the same time.
