What is Ghost Cube?

Ghost Cube is a shape-mod puzzle: after scrambling, its pieces form irregular projections instead of obvious coloured layers. The challenge is to recover the original cube shape.

Key identification details

  • Shape-changing cube puzzle
  • Solved by restoring cubic form
  • Monochrome appearance increases difficulty
  • Single-player rotational puzzle

Progressive solving hints

These are original Crafty Puzzles hints based on the published objective and mechanism. They do not reproduce the manufacturer's challenge booklet or solution diagrams.

Hint 1

Use piece shape and height as your main clues because colour does not identify layers.

Hint 2

Find the pieces that define a flat face and build around them.

Hint 3

Turn carefully and confirm alignment before forcing a layer; offset cuts can make legal turns look impossible.

Background

Recent Toys describes Ghost Cube as a shape-shifting version of a cube in which the solved state is identified by geometry rather than face colours.
