Dreampark Pyramid Speed Cube Puzzles, Black

I don't know what's happening to me but as a fully grown manchild I find myself getting more and more into toys like these. Way more than I ever was as a child. Rubik's Cubes, Pyraminx, Skewb, 4x4 cubes, 5x5, fidget toys, and the Perplexus puzzles are all blowing my mind lately.This is very well put together and the magnets on the interior make the turning feel very natural, it's well oiled and very smooth. I haven't been able to solve it yet but I haven't checked out any tutorials so I'm just going into it blind but I've come close. So far though this Dreampark pyraminx is just as good as anything I have from D-FantiX, which is another great company that makes awesome speedcubes.Everything I said in this review is SO nerdy but I can't help it. If you're a parent looking to get your kids off their videogame systems for a little bit consider buying all the puzzles I mentioned earlier, I wish my parents would have I would've loved gadgets like this as a kid.

This may be one of my first pyraminx puzzles, but I think I can safely say that this one is pretty good. Maybe a speedcuber would prefer a better, more expensive pyraminx, but casual cubers (including me) should be able to enjoy the puzzle's quality build.It uses small, metal orbs that are spring-loaded to snap into place for a nice, clicky feeling when turned. While writing this review, I tried corner-cutting, and it seems to be able to corner-cut decently for an effectively tetrahedron-shaped Rubik's cube. I also haven't been able to pop anything yet, forcibly or accidentally. If you don't know about corner-cutting or cube popping, then don't worry about all of that :)Very nice puzzle, would recommend to friends.

I always wanted this puzzle since it's much different looking than the traditional cube. When I received it, I was amazed at how easy it was to turn. The product itself is very sturdy and durable in my opinion and the stickers seem to hold up quite well. Compared to the traditional 3x3, this puzzle is slightly easier. Similar to the 2x2 in difficulty. I would say this met and exceeded my expectations by far.I was able to complete my first solve in about 10 minutes with little prior knowledge other than 3x3 methods. I can regularly do this now in about 30 seconds to 1 minute. This is definitely a great addition to my collection.

....When I was a young teenager. They seemed to appear after Rubik's Cube (which I also had and tossed aside).What I remember of the one I had over 30 years ago is it was white. The stickers had grooved texture, I assume for grip. Felt more solid than this brand. The hole in the center of each side was smaller and I could see a phillips screw in each hole, could not see clear through like this puzzle. Had more resistance while turning. But snapped into place every time and had no worries of it popping apart.This Dreampark brand puzzle (don't recall the brand I had in the 80's) Feels light weight and flimsy. It does turn much easier and also has detent balls to make the puzzle snap into place. But as you're turning one portion of the triangle, it is easy to start turning another section and when this happens, a center piece will be really lose and jamb against another center piece. I would imagine if a person is doing a speed challenge, it could easily cause a jamb and pop apart. The stickers are also not well centered, but not hanging over any edges.As for solving this puzzle,It is so EASY! I thought I would have trouble as I have not had mine, that I had as a young teen, for many years. I mixed it up and solved it within a couple of minutes. Now that I got it down again, with giving my hands a rest, solved inside a minute. As a teen, I used to have people mix the puzzle for me and easily solve it within 20 seconds. And that was with one that was stiff to move. If my hands could still move that fast, I would be afraid to try it with this one because it seems like it will pop apart too easy. Just like with a Rubik's cube, once you have the algorithm figured, its a breeze to do, just this puzzle is an easier one to remember.I'm going to give it to my eight year old nephew and see if he can play with it without it breaking.I deducted one star because as I am working it, I am watching other corners move and pieces looking as if they are going to fall out. If my nephew plays with it and does not break it (he does not break things intentionally and is very good with his toys), I will give it that one star.

I got this for my seven year old son and he loves it. He solved it in a week, and has several times since. It takes the basic rules of a Rubiks cube and does a slight twist on it. Fewer sides, but counter-intuitive for people who think in cubes. Since most architecture, furniture, and so on use a rectangular form factor, this gets you out of your comfort zone. Brilliant puzzle toy. Very smooth construction and solid - the two year old has not damaged it yet. Might as well be granite to survive that.The printed guide could have larger print, but other than that, I wouldn't change anything.

I was confused that it came in a cubic box. How could that be? Turns out if you lift this puzzle so it's balanced on an edge it'll fit into a cubic box roughly the same size as an ordinary Rubik's cube. I never would have believed it but volumes can be tricky to visualize. Anyway, my first impression of the actual puzzle was that I could see through it. The hole in the middle of each face was large enough for me to see around the central mechanism and through the other side, almost like it was a void Pyraminx (which, curiously, doesn't seem to exist). It also felt loose. Sometimes when just starting a turn I'd nudge an edge piece and it would wobble about, barely hanging on. I didn't try to pull it apart though. It's held up through a few weeks of ordinary use so I'd say it's tight enough for practical purposes. Interestingly, the edge pieces have small ball bearings that act as detents when they fit into corresponding holes on other faces. This is what makes the puzzle snap into alignment. Pretty nifty! All in all, I'm pleased.

Great as my expectation

My 10 year old loves this speed cube. Great value for money

Colours are made as stickers. Some of them are not properly aligned and sized.Package doesn’t include any instructions like others do.It feels a bit flimsy and cheap.After a month become more difficult to rotate.
