We were gobsmacked at the Rubik’s Cube World Championships 2013 in Las Vegas this week. Over 500 Rubik’s Cube fanatics flocked to The Riviera Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas to try their hand at over 17 different contests.
On top of the original 3x3 cube that frustrated so many of us as children, there are 2x2 to 7x7 sized cubes as well as Pyraminx (pyramid shaped) Megaminx (hexagonal) among others. Contests ranged between all of these different types of Rubik’s Cube, to completing them blindfolded, with your feet or in the fewest moves.
With the help of this contest and the rise in popularity of vintage and retro products, Rubik’s Cubes have been making a comeback, including our Giant Rubik’s Cube.
It can store anything from your retro gaming books, to 80‘s sweets or beer! It is pantone matched to the original Rubik’s Cube and is finished off with a classy Rubik’s signature. Perfect for adding colour and a sense of fun to any room.
Take a look at these kids at the World Championships 2013, completing the orinigal 3x3 Rubik's Cube in mere seconds!
