This is a review of the puzzle called Varikon Box.
This is a sliding puzzle where the goal is to have all matching dots except for the moving hole position, which will have dots of a different color. There is a peg (small and very easy to lose) which stops the movement of pieces when picking up the puzzle, in order to hold it in a solved position.
There are three colors for this puzzle:
Black cubes (red and white dots)
White cubes (green and red dots)
Red cubes (blue and white dots)
The puzzle comes in two forms: 3x3x3 and 2x2x2
Varikon Box 3x3x3: Only the cubes along the edges move - the center cubies are held in place, and do not move.
Varikon Box 2x2x2: All cubes can move.
Note: The boxes are closed. They cannot be opened without breaking the puzzle.
Here’s how to solve this puzzle:
Varikon Box 3x3x3
Varikon Box 2x2x2
