Overview

What ABG knows about this game

A real time game reminiscent of Alex Randolph's Square Off but using Rubik's cube colors as a basis. In this game players race to complete a puzzle. Each player has a 5x5 slide puzzle with one tile missing.

Players then try to make the 3x3 center of their puzzle match the Scrambler.
