Overview

The 36 Cube is an addictive and insanely difficult puzzle. Your goal is to create a level 6x6 cube by strategically placing the thirty-six varied-height colored towers onto the gray base. The catch is that each color must be represented in each column and row. Think of it like a Sudoku puzzle - but in 3D.

This puzzle is so challenging that the instruction booklet reassures you that the puzzle can indeed be solved. Dang.

Ages 8+. Happy puzzling!

Here's how the puzzle works: Your goal is to build the cube so that one of each colored tower is placed in every row and column.

There are 36 towers (six of each color in each of the six sizes). You must place the towers on the base to form a level cube. Good luck.
