The Pyraminx Crystal is a dodecahedron-shaped twisty puzzle and can be essentially thought of as a deeper-cut variation of the Megaminx. Play it online on Grubiks!

The Megaminx, is a dodecahedron-shaped twisty puzzle, very similar to the original Rubik's Cube. This page offers more information about it along with a 3D model you can play with!

Rubik's Cube Solver - Solve any Rubik's Cube with a simple step-by-step explanation. It's very easy to use our free 3D Rubik's Cube solver, simply fill in the colors and click the SOLVE button.

The difference is the amount of "layers" each face has (3 instead of 1 in the Megaminx) resulting in no less than 372 center pieces, 20 corner pieces, and 150 edge pieces which together create an enormous amount of possible combinations.

The Professor Pyraminx is the 5x5x5 version of the famous Pyraminx puzzle! Come play our free 3D simulator and learn more about it.

A common way to solve this puzzle is by using the "reduction" method. First, decide on the color scheme that you're solving towards (out of the two possible solved states), then pair up the corner pieces to turn the Square-2 into a Square-1, and finally - solve as a regular Square-1.

The Square-1 (a.k.a. SQ1, Cube 21 or Back to Square One) is a cube-shaped shape-shifting twisty puzzle. It was invented by Karel Hršel and Vojtěch Kopský in 1990 and was approved as a Czechoslovak patent in October 1992.

When you make a 90-degree twist on this puzzle it will shape-shift. Other than this fact, the puzzle is identical to a Rubik's Pocket Cube - it consists of 8 parts with 3 stickers on each, has 3,674,160 different combinations and you can solve it in the same way as you would a Rubik's Pocket Cube.

Each edge piece of this puzzle appears 3 times, and they should be matched together. After matching both the centers and the edge pieces, we are left with a puzzle that can be solved using the standard Rubik's 3x3x3 solving algorithm (with 1 parity case).
