What happens when you toss an old favorite mind puzzle into a blender with a dash of new technology? You get a colorful cube that combines the brain twisting fun of your traditional Rubiks cube with the technological advances of a touch screen. This new twist on an old favorite is here to grace our holiday celebrations, and introduce a whole new generation of puzzle loving children and adults to one of the original brain teasers.
After three years of research and development, Rubiks has made the TouchCube available through Best Buy and a few other retailers. The Rubik’s TouchCube is riding on the coattails of previous best selling Rubik’s products. The advanced touch screen allows you to simply swipe your finger across a row of colored panels to rotate and move the cube without all of that exhausting twisting and turning. Its advanced accelerometer will only react to moves made on the upper face of the TouchCube so that you can’t inadvertently rotate colors on the sides as you are holding it.
But wait, the best is yet to come! Since you can no longer cheat by swapping out stickers, or tearing the cube apart to fix your pattern manually, it includes a built-in solver that allows you to watch step by step as the cube solves itself, and a rewind feature that allows you to step backwards through the moves that you have made. The TouchCube will also save your place in your puzzle, so that you can walk away to resume playing at any time. All of these features accompanied by volume controlled sound effects to take the nostalgic player back to their first Rubik’s Cube experience.
Now, this could just be the perfect gift for the gadget and game loving individual on your holiday gift list.
