The Successor to Rubik's Cube?

Filed in archive Just For Fun by Eric Hanson on February 17, 2007

I was too young to experience the Rubik's Cube when it came out, but just like most people across the Earth, I know its significance. The Rubik's Cube is a world-wide phenomenon, a pop-culture icon, the most popular game in the world (over 300 million units sold) and may have even helped move the economy of Cube-creator Ern�' Rubik's home country Hungary out of Communism. Toy manufacturers would love to duplicate the Cube's success by creating a Rubik's Cube successor - and now a company called Techno Source claims to have done just that.

The toy is called Rubik's Revolution; it looks a bit like the original Rubik's Cube (see photo) but features six software-based games that use, according to the press release, "light, sound and voice effects with numerous ways to play and multiple levels waiting to be unlocked." However, details about how these games work (or even how the device operates) are very sketchy, possibly because Rubik's Revolution links

doesn't come out until this summer or possibly (likely even, to my mind) because Techno Source paid a lot of money to use the Rubik name and design on their toy as a way of boosting hype. I guess we'll see if Rubik's Revolution takes off when it comes out, but I'm not expecting much.
