XXL Gear Cube
Colossal, cogged combination puzzle.
Overview
The XXL Gear Cube is a big puzzle that takes a big brain to solve. This big ol' brainteaser features six solid surfaces of color that can be mixed up by a turn of the edges, which revolve with a gear mechanism like a machine-minded Rubik's Cube.
Made by combination puzzle magicians Meffert's, the giant Gear Cube features an incredibly easy to turn action and an incredibly difficult to solve algorithm. One full rotation of the cube requires twelve full 90º turns, making this unique puzzle a literal handful to solve!

Prodigious puzzle
The XXL Gear Cube is a colossal combination puzzle that will require plenty of brain power to solve. Just holding the cube makes your hands feel comically small, but just because you'll look like a kid doesn't mean solving it is child's play.
Since nearly all of the pieces are gears, you have to do 180° incremental rotations to return the ridiculously playable rectangular prism to a flat state, unlike more classic styles of combination puzzles. So get your hand workouts in and prepare to wield the weirdest cog puzzle you can pick up.
Frequently Asked Questions
Question: How difficult is it to solve?
Answer: Like all combination puzzles, solving becomes simple once you discover the algorithms, but we're not going to spoil the fun for you.
Question: Is it hard to turn?
Answer: The turning action is smooth with enough resistance to keep the gears from slipping out of place, but it must be fully turned to prevent the pieces from binding up the action.
