Mirror cubes 2x2 and 3x3 – also called Mirror Blocks

Do you solve 3x3 cubes in your sleep? Are you ready for a new challenge? Then we most definitely recommend these Mirror cubes to you. They are shape mods of the classic speed cube. That means the Mirror cube only looks like a cube when solved. After just a few turns nothing remains of the original shape. In any case, Mirror cubes, also known as Mirror Blocks, are a good first step into the world of shape mods.

Speedcubing with Mirror cubes?

Yes, Mirror cubes can be used for speedcubing – even though they are not primarily intended for that purpose. At this time, there is no category for Mirror cubes at WCA competitions. Currently, the recognised best time stands at an unbelievable 9.57 seconds, set by YouTuber «The Seppomania».

Inventor of the Mirror cube

The Mirror cube hasn’t been around for that long. It was invented in 2006 by the Japanese puzzle designer Hidetoshi Takeji. He initially called it a Bump cube. «Bump» because the cube has an uneven surface when unsolved. Two years later, large scale production of this cube began, and it was at that time that the name was changed to Mirror Blocks.
