MeiLong 3x3 Bead Cube by MoYu adds a second puzzle to the familiar 3x3 Rubik's Cube. Besides turning its three layers and matching the six face colours, you can move small coloured beads around circular tracks on each face. There are 16 moving beads per face, so solving the cube itself is only part of the challenge.

Who is it for?

For people who already know a basic 3x3 and would like something new, for collectors of unusual twisty puzzles, and for children and adults who enjoy tactile, hands-on logic games. It also works as a playful desk puzzle or fidget toy. Its larger body makes it different from a conventional speedcube.

Turning feel and control

The layers turn like a 3x3, while the beads slide separately in their grooves. Solving involves thinking about both the positions of the cube's pieces and the arrangement of the beads. The rounded edges and matte stickerless surfaces offer a comfortable grip.

Beads, magnets and surface

• Bead mechanism: 16 movable beads on each of the six faces, running through circular tracks.
