ZePuzzles Tricky Pyraminx looks like a normal Pyraminx at first glance, but it works very differently. It does not turn around the tips or conventional faces; the cuts are arranged so the puzzle rotates around its edges, making it an edge-turning Pyraminx.

Because of this unusual geometry, normal Pyraminx intuition is not enough. After only a few turns the puzzle develops a very different appearance and requires a new way of thinking.

Who it’s for

• Collectors of unusual twisty puzzles.
• People who already know Pyraminx and want a very different challenge.

Feel and construction

• The turning feel is soft and robust.
• The model uses stickers rather than stickerless colored surfaces.
• Non-magnetic.

How to approach solving

• Do not treat it like a standard Pyraminx: the axes of rotation and piece movement are different.
• It helps to first observe how a single move cycles edges and other pieces before building algorithms or intuition.

Weight

• Weight without packaging: about 89 g.
