WOWCube: the cube with 24 screens that you play by spinning and shaking — from $399 at wowcube.com

If you're looking for a gadget that doesn't look like "another flat screen", WOWCube go for a cube with 24 screens that you control by rotating, tilting and shaking the hardware. Cubios sells it as WOWCube Entertainment System: eight articulated modules, CubiOS system, dock with Wi-Fi and catalog of more than 100 games and widgets downloadable from the mobile. Official price from $399 at wowcube.com/buy.

A Rubik's cube that is not a plastic puzzle

The shape is reminiscent of a Rubik's 2×2×2, but each “cube” is a device with three IPS screens, its own processor and partial battery. The games span all 24 visible faces at once: a character can "cross" from screen to screen when you rotate a layer, as described in the official data sheet.

The interaction is physical: there is no D-pad. The firmware reads orientation and movement with a 6-axis IMU and translates twist, tilt and shake into game commands. In practice, it feels closer to a futuristic living room toy than a Game Boy — just the angle that creators like EXCESSORIZE ME. or CJKnowsTECH repeat in the web's featured videos.

Hardware: eight brains in a single cube

According to wowcube.com/specs and the help center:

• 8 modules with patented connectors — the hub can be twisted while maintaining electrical connection.
• 24 240×240 IPS screens with anti-reflective and anti-fingerprint coating.
• 3600 mAh distributed (8×450 mAh) · autonomy up to 7 hours depending on use.
• 8 speakers with dedicated acoustic chambers.
• Bluetooth + BLE to pair with the app and dock.
• Weight ~320 g and 70 mm per side — somewhat larger than a classic Rubik's to house electronics.

The dock includes ESP32-S3, storage, permanent Wi-Fi, microphones with voice AI and USB-C PD charging. When the cube rests there, the screens can show useful information (clock, weather, stocks) instead of staying off — one of the ideas that reviewers highlight the most in the “See WOWCube in action” section of the site.

Games, widgets and digital store

WOWCube does not depend only on the hardware that arrives in the box: the WOWCube Store (via app) offers more than 100 titles including games, decorative widgets and utilities. The website groups the catalog into Games, Widgets, Decor and more — from 2048-style puzzles to clocks and information screens.

There are serious licenses: the official footer cites TAITO (Space Invaders), Spin Master / Rubik's and Zeptolab (Cut the Rope). The collaboration with Rubik's also brought the variant Rubik's WOWCube, documented in Wikipedia with pre-sale in 2025 from $299 in its holiday launch.

Cubios opens SDKs and APIs for developers — it is committed to a “cube App Store” type ecosystem rather than a single included game, according to its FAQ.

Brain training or living room console?

Official marketing insists on «Curiosity Is a Daily Practice» and on cognitive benefits: spatial thinking, hand-eye coordination, focus and reaction speed. The STEM certification and awards such as CES Innovation Awards, Edison, Red Dot or TIME reinforce the educational discourse — useful if you buy it for teenagers (recommendation 13+ in retailers like Amazon) or for a "geek" gift that is not another Bluetooth remote control.

Gadget Gram places it in the niche of early adopters and education: surprising hardware, but starting price ($399 on sale, $499 RRP in some reviews) above laptops or tablets for gaming AAA. It makes sense if you are attracted to the piece as an object and as a platform, not if you are just looking for value for money in games.

Price and what the purchase includes

In July 2026, the official website shows «From $399» in the purchase section. Packs may include a dock, wall charger, travel case and pre-installed games — check the exact configuration at wowcube.com/buy before paying, because there are themed editions above the base price.

Shipping and deadlines depend on the batch; The support clarifies that the payment can be made in advance of the order and the shipment can occur later. For the US it is also listed on Amazon as Rubik's WOWCube (ASIN B0F8DHP62C), an alternative if you prefer Prime.

Who is it suitable for?
