Product Information

Full details

The SmartGames Criss Cross Cube is a single-player brain teaser designed for children aged eight and up as well as adults who enjoy challenging logic puzzles. Its primary benefit is the development of cognitive skills like spatial reasoning and problem-solving through 80 progressive challenges that involve fitting 13 screws into a transparent cube. A notable caveat is that the set contains small parts and is strictly unsuitable for children under 36 months, requiring adult supervision in households with toddlers.

FAQs

Can multiple people play at once?

The game is designed for a single player, though it can be a collaborative activity where friends or family take turns or work together to solve a challenge.

Is the age recommendation strictly 8 years and up?

Yes, it is recommended for 8 years and older due to the complexity of the puzzles and the presence of small parts that are a choking hazard for younger children.

Does the cube come with a storage case?

The cube itself acts as the primary storage vessel for the screws when the puzzle is assembled, though the original packaging should be kept to hold the challenge booklet.

What happens if I lose a piece?

Because the game requires all 13 specific pieces to complete the internal structure, it is essential to store the components carefully in a secure location after every use.

How long does a typical game take?

The time varies significantly based on the player's experience and the chosen difficulty level; easy levels may take minutes, while expert levels can take much longer.

Troubleshooting

A screw will not fit into the intended position

Check your current configuration against the challenge guide; you may have placed a previous screw in a way that blocks internal space.

The puzzle seems impossible to solve

Take all pieces out and start the current challenge from the beginning to ensure every piece is oriented exactly as the booklet suggests.
