eGhost CubeThere is more than meets the eye with this six sided puzzle cube. Not only are all the sides white, but with odd shaped pieces, each twist creates strange angles and formations. A little scary, but a strong spirit will solve this.

MegaminxWith 50 moveable pieces, the Megaminx is sure to be the centrepiece of any puzzler’s collection. Twist and turn each of the twelve sides until each face is one solid colour. Truly a mega challenge worth taking on.

Gear CubeIt is a cube, but a cube with a unique difference. The Gear Cube has an intricate gear mechanism that no less than twelve 90° twists to complete one full rotation. An addictive cube, with an added layer of complexity.

Don’t be fooled by the apparent simplicity of Gear Shift. Discover that the core can be pulled apart and the eight meshing gears can be rotated separately. Simplicity now becomes a real challenge of logic.
