There is a wide variety of twist puzzles that exists beyond the classic Rubik's brand 3x3x3, like the 2x2x2, pyraminx, megaminx, square-1, clock, and more! We will be showing our collection of twist puzzles and demonstrate solving some of them. After a quick overview of the world of competitive speed cubing (and how you too can be involved), there will be a speed cubing exhibition (speed cubers are welcome to bring their own cubes to show off their skills with an official display timer). We'll also give you some basic strategies and resources to help you learn to solve your own cube - solving a Rubik's Cube is not just for geniuses anymore!

Prerequisites

Bring your own cubes if you want to show off your collection, if you want to time yourself with our display timer, or if you have that one cube that is just stuck unsolved - WE CAN SOLVE IT (or at least try)!
