Cubed Electronic Puzzle Game (10T)



Cubed (for short) is composed of four electronic cubes. Each one is surrounded on four sides by magnetic connectors, and each displays 1/4 of the puzzle on its LCD screen. Now, you just have to figure out how the pieces connect together as you connect the cubes via their magnets. There are even two separate games you can play: you can make pictures and icons by forming a square shape, or you can form words in a rectangular shape. All 600 puzzles are shown in the instruction manual, but when you hear the timer beeping down, there isn't enough time to cheat. Get ten puzzles solved in a row and you win. Fail and you are (well, we won't tell anyone...just keep trying until you win)! (http://www.thinkgeek.com).
