This QiYi set brings together, in a windowed box, four twisty puzzles that go beyond the classic cube: Pyraminx, Megaminx, Skewb and Ivy Cube. They’re all stickerless (no stickers: the colour is in the plastic itself) and none of them has magnets.

What’s included

The Pyraminx is a four-sided pyramid with tips that turn separately. The Megaminx is a dodecahedron with twelve pentagonal faces, solved with logic similar to the 3x3 but longer. The Skewb is cube-shaped and turns around four axes that run through its corners, so each turn moves half the puzzle. The Ivy Cube also turns around its corners, and its faces are divided by leaf-shaped curves (hence its name).

Why a set like this

Each puzzle makes you think in a different way, and trying all four helps you discover which kind of mechanism you find most appealing. Three of them (Pyraminx, Megaminx and Skewb) are official events of the WCA, the association that organises speedcubing competitions; the Ivy Cube isn’t, but it’s usually the quickest to solve.

Which level

It suits anyone who can already solve the 3x3 and wants to broaden their horizons, and beginners too: the Ivy Cube, the Pyraminx and the Skewb have short beginner methods.
