Product Description
Product Description
The ultimate test of daring, courage and skill which the whole family can now play at home. As the pressure and your pulse rate start to rise, what should be simple games, take on epic proportions when played in The Cube. Each player starts with 9 lives, 1 Simplify and 1 Trial Run Token, but will that be enough to complete each of the 7 rounds of physical and electronic challenges that await you? Will your nerve hold out long enough to make it all the way to the final stage and win the £250,000 jackpot? Can you beat the Cube?
Product Description
Challenge your family to games based on the hit ITV gameshow The Cube. The show's nail-biting format has been cleverly downsized for this fun family game that retains all the best elements of the series. There are seven rounds of physical and electronic challenges to complete and players have just nine lives to use up before being booted out of the game. There are options to do a Trial Run or Simplify the challenges, just like in the show, and with 50 different games included, The Cube Game is sure to keep the whole family entertained. Designed for two to six players aged eight and up, the The Cube Game is great for fans of the TV show but just as fun for those who are new to the format. Recommended For Ages 8 Plus

This game is awful for so many reasons, many of which have been covered by other reviewers.
I've given it one star because it's the least fun I've ever had playing a game. The initial promise of a good time will be replaced by a sense of irritation, after you spend most of your time assembling the assorted challenges, some of which are nigh on impossible. I'm not exaggerating, unless you can balance a light 12" plastic tube on the end of your index finger for 30 seconds (one of us managed 8.5).
The electronic bit doesn't do what it's told to do. Read the instructions if you wish, but you'll be wasting even more time. Somewhere in there, there's a timer for some of the 'physical' challenges. We never found it.
The computer is wrong. After losing umpteen lives, we took a picture of the cheap 'n' nasty electronic display which showed a scattering of dots for the player to count. The computer said 19. There were 20. Ok, so what else is wrong with this thing, we thought. In addition, the various computer based challenges never varied. We didn't expect every single mental challenge to be hard-coded; i.e. you play it once, you'll get the answer right forever (assuming you remember that the thing can't count).
Please don't waste your money on this piece of rubbish. Only the price suggests that this game isn't cheap. It really does beggar belief. I sent mine back. If you like The Cube, phone ITV for a proper go.

My 10 year old son was bought this game for his birthday in November. It costs a fair bit of money and after tearing open all the plastic wrapping the game consists of one hand held console (which does need batteries) and lots of plastic pieces, tubes and counters. The game can be fun but is extremely limited and not anywhere near as good as you think it will be for the money. The 'trials' are fairly basic, there is not even a proper board just one piece of card to progress through. At the end of the game for the money there is not even a bag (as there is in say scrabble) to store all the pieces or even a sectioned box to store them in just the one large box for the game, so all the pieces get put into the box loose and potentially lost! We stored all of ours in a kitchen plstic bag back in the box...disappointing...and after one half an hour game the kids put it away and have not mentioned it since!
Think twice before you buy it - they are cashing in big time on the TV show!

Boughtthis game for my 11 year old who soon had every one taking part (all age ranges).
However I think the older members enjoyed it the most.
It is the most entertaining & chalenging game that I have p;ayed in years.

Slightly Addictive
Excellent game, and great for all the family with a range of skills to test. Lots of little bits that need to be sorted first though

Not as playable as expected
There is too much faffing about and setting things up and you need a degree to work out the instructions by which time everyone is more interested in doing something else

Definitely not value for money
This item was bought for my grandson of 11. I have to say though, for the money it was quite trashy.

Hard to use and boring
I'm not a big fan. The game doesn't play well and we have only even bothered to get it out of the box a few times. If you follow the rules you are all out in a few goes. Read more

The cube
Not as good as expected! Some of the challenges are totally impossible. Wouldn't recommend this game really. Would recommend the game of life better for families.
