Hi everyone!
The original idea came from a friend of mine, my first reaction was “wow, this would be so confusing, no way to distinguish edge and center pieces, a nightmare to solve!”.
He insisted, so I had no choice but to create this new torture device 
While designing I realized that it seems that the Mixup Cube could have straight cuts only in its regular shape. When the cuts are at different distances from the center, some gaps appears between the pieces. These gaps are only a visual effect, the turning is smooth, the pieces are not loose at all. These wavy cuts gives a kind of organic look to the puzzle, like a tortoise shell.
Compared with a standard Ghost Cube, any edge and center pieces now have 18 reachable positions with 4 different orientations, and no clue to help you to anticipate  Good luck to all who will decide to solve it!
The size of the Ghost Mixup Cube is the same as the Ghost Cube: 60 mm to an edge.
You can see the video here.
And find it in the marketplace.

Awesome design. I like how organic cuts looks. Almost like it was made from turtle shell or aligator skin.
Keep it up! |

You keep astonishing us with these wonders. Fabulous. How many you still hide in your sleeve?
P.S.- Assembly must have been a nightmare...

Hi Pantazis,
I like your design of Ghost mixup cube. Has it been mass produced? IF not, can we have the honor? thanks!

It's just soooo confusing, I can't even think how I couldn't buy it if only it was mass produced.
Amazing work, Raf !
Bien joué, mec.  |
