Magic Cube 3D Classic returns with a redesigned 3D puzzle experience for iPhone and iPad. FIVE PUZZLES, ONE BEAUTIFUL GAME Play the classic 3x3 cube, Pyraminx, Diamond, 4x4 and 5x5 cubes. New games begin scrambled by legal moves from a solved puzzle, not randomly colored stickers. The 3x3 cube is the default puzzle. DIRECT TOUCH CONTROLS Drag on the puzzle to turn a row or column. The selected layer follows your finger, then snaps into place on release; a short drag springs back. Drag outside the puzzle to rotate your view. Enjoy a portrait layout that keeps the puzzle central, with quick access to the menu, shop and help. AUTOMATIC TIMING AND SAVED PROGRESS The first layer move starts the timer; solving the puzzle stops it automatically. Track your moves and celebrate completed puzzles and new personal bests. Progress is saved separately for each puzzle type. Return to a saved game without spending another play. Time pauses while away, during ads and during demonstrations. These are local active-play statistics, not official competition timing. DAILY AND GUIDED CHALLENGES Daily challenges use the same legal scramble for each puzzle type and UTC date. Track your local daily best and streak. Try short 3x3 practice challenges: make the white cross, finish the first layer or solve a puzzle three moves from completion. Hints explain the next moves. These are guided examples, not a complete beginner course. SOLUTION PLAYBACK AND PRACTICE The 3x3 two-phase solver calculates a solution from the current position; it does not guarantee the shortest solution. Other puzzle types restore the puzzle by reversing the recorded scramble and moves. Follow one move at a time, pause, replay or adjust playback speed. Undo and hints mark a game as assisted practice; automatic demonstrations never enter ranked results. PERSONAL STATISTICS AND SHARING View Recent 10 and Best 10 results, personal best, today's best, solve count, average time, moves per second, AO5 and AO12. Ranked statistics include only unassisted free and daily challenges. Copy scramble sequences and share puzzle or replay links. Results and daily streaks stay on your device; there is no global leaderboard. SOUND AND ACCESSIBILITY Enjoy action sounds, background music, separate volume controls and optional haptic feedback on supported devices. Choose high-contrast colors, sticker symbols for color identification, larger text or reduced motion. Your preferences are saved locally. PLAY OPTIONS A new installation includes 5 plays. Preparing a puzzle is free: a new game consumes one play only when you first turn a layer. With no plays remaining, starting a new game opens the shop. Complete a rewarded ad to earn 3 plays. Optional consumable packs add 30 or 80 plays. Unlimited is a one-time purchase for permanently ad-free, unlimited play and supports Restore Purchases. No player account is required. Puzzles can be played offline while plays are available; advertisements and store features require internet. Puzzle progress, results, preferences and play balance are stored locally. Deleting the app or clearing its data may lose unused consumable plays and local records. Consumable packs cannot be restored; Unlimited can be restored through the store.
