2 Pack of Classic Magic Cube 2" 2x2 Smart Speed Cube Educational Game Brain Teaser (Black and Rainbow)

It was nice but son dropped it on wood and broke apart. Dropped from less than 2 feet and it smahsed to pieces.

I got this as a gift for my daughter and she loves twisting the colors! She doesn't quite understand to match the sides yet but she loves spinning the cube. The cube itself is well-made and feels sturdy in your hands. The turning mechanism is smooth and fast. What I appreciate most about this cube is its compact size - it's easy for my daughter to handle it. I believe this toy helps to improve hand-eye coordination, problem-solving skills, and some critical thinking abilities. Overall a simple and fun toy to add to anyone's collection.Quality: 5/5Durability: 5/5Value: 4/5X-factor: 5/5 - easy but stimulatingOverall, I recommend this to anyone looking to get a puzzle toy for their young one!

Bought for an autistic 4 year old. He loved it

Like many young kids, I was always infatuated with the idea of a rubix cube, but never had the desire to sit down long enough to learn the 'algorithms' necessary to solve them. The traditional 3x3 always felt too complicated to sit down and learn. The 2x2 cube was perfect.I thought it would be so simple that it would be boring to try and figure out. However, it clearly is much easier, but you can actually think through what needs to be done. It is still complicated, but much more manageable to solve. If you want to go through memorization, there are only 4 algorithms (included) used to solve them, but it is possible to logic your way through. No idea how this would function for an experienced solver, but the mechanisms were solid and smooth.

I had to have it as soon as I saw the price point of this 2x2 rubics cube. I have fairly nice "speed cubes" in 3x3, 4x4, and 5x5. I've never found a 6x6 that I like. Now this 2x2... soooo cute. Maybe it's time to make a 1x1 for completeness.As for the action and the build - pretty well done. The action has very little drag. It spins super easily. Also, you can pull it apart somewhat and try to look at the innards or access the screw for disassembling. I don't know that it will stand up to hours and hours of speed cube practice. It might with that low drag build, but why should it? It's a 2x2. Just a novelty. If you're going to practice for hours, you should be using a 3x3 or larger.

This is a fun little puzzle. It is far easier than the traditional 3x3 cube, but it is not completely trivial to solve either. It can get pretty well scrambled, so even if one whole side is solved (including the correct edges), there is no guarantee on the bottom. I did luck into solving the whole cube once or twice just by solving one side, so not nearly as many combinations as 3x3, but still takes a little doing to solve.It does come with instructions for how to solve, including a few different cases and the algorithms to solve from each case. These do work, so it is possible to get back to a solved cube even if you can't solve yourself. It's fun to use as a puzzle, and also just to fidget with. For $6 at time of this review, easily worth it.

I Kids like playing with it, but the instructions weren’t very clear for them. Might’ve been better if they understood Rubiks cubes.

I am enjoying this 2 X 2 cube. The instructions for solving the cube are very helpful. I thought that since a bigger 3 x 3 cube is very difficult to solve then this one would be a piece of cake, because the number of possible states that this can be in must be a much smaller number than the bigger cube. I was surprised to learn that this simple cube has more than 3.5 million possible states - so just randomly rotating and flipping and expecting it to be solved would take a long time. with the help of the instructions it can be solved in just a dozen or so moves. I recommend this puzzle for anyone looking for a challenge.
