Ziina is a twisty puzzle brand focused on picture cubes, miniature mirror cubes and keychains. What we carry from Ziina are puzzles to give as gifts, to keep in your pocket or to put a new spin on a 2x2 or 3x3 you already know how to solve.
What Ziina makes
Its Emoji Cube series is a 3x3 or 2x2 with a different emoji on each face, where the goal is for every side to show the same picture again. They are solved with the same moves as a normal cube, so they suit both beginners and anyone who wants a fun cube on the desk.
The other line is mirror cube variants. The original mirror cube, invented by Hidetoshi Takeji in 2006 under the name Bump Cube, is a 3x3 with all pieces in the same colour and layers of different thickness: you solve it by shape, not by colour. Ziina takes it to the extreme with versions of just two or three pieces.
How to choose a Ziina
Emoji Cube
Recommended: Emoji 3x3 stickerless, Emoji 3x3 yellow, Emoji 3x3 orange, Emoji 2x2 stickerless, Emoji 2x2 yellow, Emoji 2x2 orange
Available in yellow, orange and stickerless, in both 3x3 and 2x2. If you do not know how to solve them yet, start with the 3x3 step by step or the 2x2.
Mirror
Recommended: Gray Mirror Illusion, Mirror 1x1x2, Mirror 1x1x3
The Mirror Illusion is a 3x3 solved by shape. The 1x1x2 and 1x1x3 are 25 mm pieces, more of a fidget and collector's item than a challenge.
Keychains and Pyraminx
Recommended: Set of 6 puzzle keychains, Black Pyraminx
The set comes with six mini puzzles that really turn, including a Dino Cube and a Pyraminx. For the full-size Pyraminx, see our guide on how to solve the Pyraminx.
Ziina FAQ
Is an Emoji Cube harder than a normal cube?
The mechanism is the same. What changes is the goal: matching colours is not enough, each face has to show the same emoji again.
What is a mirror cube?
A cube with all pieces in the same colour and in different sizes. When you scramble it, it loses its cube shape, and you solve it by restoring that shape. You will find more models in unusual cubes and shape mods.
What is in the keychain set?
Do they make good gifts?
That is what they work best for. See also our guide on which Rubik's Cube to give and the cube sets and packs category.
