The Rubik's Cube is one of the most popular and famous toys ever created thanks to a classic design that has lasted the test of time with virtually no major changes, and while the GoCube still keeps the mechanics that made Erno Rubik's invention such a hit, the new toy adds features that make it even more fun. The cube toy connects to an app that gives players learning opportunities as well as the ability to compete against others.
The GoCube is outfitted with smart sensors that constantly measure and monitor the cube's position and relay that information to the accompanying app. The app thus gives live updates of the cube's current position, and it can help guide players through strategies to improve their speed and skill.
