About the game

Cube Nets turns a classic school puzzle into something you can actually see. A wise old owl puts a cube on the board and asks which of the flat nets below folds into it, or shows a net and asks which cube it makes. The faces carry colours and simple symbols, so you have to work out which faces end up next to each other and which ones face away.

The best part is what happens after you choose. Your answer folds up in real 3D, flap by flap, and turns to face the cube on the board. If you were right it glows green; if not, the faces that do not match are marked in red, and shapes that cannot close at all show their overlap. Twenty-four levels start with colours only, then add arrows whose direction matters, more choices, and nets that cannot fold.
