Are You Worthy of the New Twisty Puzzle Challenge?

Mass Produced Helicopter Cubes for Your Twisty Puzzle Collection.


" The Helicopter Cube is highly sought after as it isn't just a shape modification of an existing puzzle, nor taking a puzzle to a higher level. You can throw out all your existing algorithms, as you need to start over! This one is all new! (And it Jumbles!)" -- Derek Bosch (puzzle designer and collector)

 

Everyone lies awake at night with a voice in their head telling them to mass produce their favorite puzzles. Right? We all have that. It's just part of the human condition to want more twisty puzzles on the market. Sooner or later, it's time to burn down the cubicle, sell the minivan, and pursue evil plans with a friend and fellow evil scientist.

The Twisty Store is very proud to announce, in evil cooperation with The Twisty Puzzle Workshop, that mass produced Helicopter Cubes will be for sale soon at The Twisty Store (http://www.TheTwistyStore.com). The first production samples are in hand, and we are confident you will be as thrilled with the quality as we are.

Price and release date haven't been set yet, although you can cross your fingers for February. We will let you know as soon as we have a date we are sure we can stick to. Until then, feel free to start imagining your Helicopter Cube in your hands, playing with it for hours.


"A few puzzles are so clear in concept that they aren't 'invented' so much as 'discovered'. The Helicopter Cube is one of the few designs which we can be sure would be known to any technologically alien species we might encounter." -- Bram Cohen (Inventor of BitTorrent)

About the Helicopter Cube

The Helicopter Cube is a twisty puzzle with slices allowing all 12 edges of the puzzle to rotate. Each edge can be rotated 180 degrees to scramble and solve the puzzle. A special move is possible after a partial rotation, allowing the puzzle to "jumble", a very special property making the Helicopter Cube unique among mass produced puzzles. Hand made versions have been much sought after by collectors. The Helicopter Cube was conceived by Adam G. Cowan in 2005, but wasn't built until 2006, when Adam discovered that 3D printing could be used to realize the parts.
