As always, the products we speak about are also the ones that other customers love and have gotten some great ratings and reviews.

We are pretty sure that Rubik’s Perplexus Fusion 3 x 3 was used as the inspiration for The Mirror Dimension in Dr. Strange! Look, on the surface this may look like your typical 3 x 3 Rubik’s Cube style puzzle, however, there is a really cool twist with this one.
You see instead of the cube being made of different colored squares. Inside are little pieces that make up a maze! There is a small ball inside and you need to make the maze so that the ball can travel from one side of the maze to the other.
This is the kind of thing that is a lot of fun and very addictive and one of the most interesting of all the cube puzzles we have for you today.
Good To Know

- Not only is this a Rubik’s Cube, but it also has an obstacle course inside it!

Do I Have To Get An “Official” Rubik’s Cube?
Look, in an ideal world you would want to have one that is the official Rubik, and to be fair, they are pretty much in the same price point as non-Rubik’s branded cube puzzles. However, in Geek's Oasis’s humble opinion it is not essential for your puzzle to have the Rubik’s stamp of approval.
What Is The Most Challenging Type Of Cube Puzzle?
We are sure there are many people who feel you need to be as smart as Tony Stark to do a regular 3 x 3 style puzzle. However, for those that are already skilled at these types of puzzles, look at stuff like the Ghost Cube, the 5 x 5 cube, or any other style of puzzle that is offering something different from the standard 3 x 3 design.
How Do You Play Rubik's Cube?
There are many different methods for solving Rubik's Cubes. Some people use algorithms, while others use what is called 'speedsolving' techniques. There are also different ways of holding and manipulating the cube depending on the person's preference.

When Was Rubik's Cube Invented?
The Rubik's cube was invented in 1974 by Hungarian sculptor and professor of architecture Erno Rubik, but actually, the cube was originally called the Magic Cube.
He licensed the patent to Ideal Toy Corporation in 1980, but there have been multiple companies taken over that business over the decades. Over 400.000.000 Rubik's Cubes have been sold since the 80s!
