Micro-Sized Puzzle Toys

The World's Smallest Rubik's Cube Measures in at 0.5-Centimeters

— October 17, 2024 — Life-Stages
The world's smallest Rubik's Cube has been created by Megahouse and Iriso Precision in collaboration with the brand to achieve a micro-sized version of the classic puzzle toy. The product is characterized by its impossible small design that's measured as being one-1,000th of the original 3D puzzle in size, while still maintaining the same three-by-three form of the regular version. The puzzle toy is crafted out of metal and, for context, is roughly the same width as three grains of size positioned side by side and thus requires a tweezer to be played with.

The world's smallest Rubik's Cube is verified by Guinness World Records and was achieved by utilizing a machine capable of performing ultra-fine trimming.
