About this game

Meet SkimmIQ - the cube puzzle that looks familiar, then breaks all your expectations.

No fixed centers. No fixed edges. No fixed corners.
You don’t rotate classic layers - you slide color tapes around the cube on three axes.

If the classic cube is chess, SkimmIQ is chess with gravity turned off.

Now SkimmIQ is more than a puzzle app. It is also a small lab for exploring, sharing, and studying new cube-like patterns.

NEW: SKIMMIQ LAB
SkimmIQ Lab lets you work with puzzle states and replay sequences:
- Import shared SkimmIQ links directly into the app
- Open a shared state or a full replay
- Record your own moves
- Export your current state or replay as a shareable link
- Copy links, open web previews, and share with friends or puzzle communities
- Use the app as the engine for replaying, analyzing, and solving SkimmIQ sequences

Shared links can also open on the web, where SkimmIQ tools let you create states, edit sequences, reverse move lists, preview replays, and build beautiful share pages.

WHY THIS MATTERS
AI solvers can solve supported SkimmIQ layouts very effectively.
But nobody has found a clear human method yet.

SkimmIQ Lab is built to help players experiment, share patterns, compare ideas, and search for human-understandable algorithms - the kind of method that made classic cube solving culture so fascinating.

SOLVER TOOLS
When you get stuck, supported layouts can use solver assistance:
- Analyze a cube state
- Find legal paths back to solved
- Preview solution paths with Path playback
- Improve IDEA hints when the solver finds a useful route
- Use AI-assisted solvers on the hardest supported layouts

AI-assisted solvers were tested across thousands of benchmark scrambles on supported hard layouts with 100% success in our tests.

WHY SKIMMIQ IS DIFFERENT
- Tape-based mechanics with truly fresh movement logic
- Every move can reshape the whole pattern in surprising ways
- Intuitive controls: swipe to rotate, drag to move tapes, pinch to zoom
- Long press to peek inside the cube
- Long press outside the cube to remind yourself what you are trying to solve
- Undo / Redo and IDEA hints
- Solver and Path tools for supported layouts
- Scramble presets plus Custom Scramble
- Multiple layouts from beginner-friendly to advanced
- Different color sets for easier starts or harder challenges
- Practice mode for learning
- Competition mode for rewards and leaderboard runs

- logic and spatial-thinking players
- anyone curious enough to help discover a human method
