The Cube.
Reinvented.
Skim. Slide. Solve

Slide the bands by one "notch". This requires a completely new way of spatial thinking.

Unique Mechanics
SkimmIQ reinvents the cube. Instead of twisting faces, swipe colorful bands. Ribbons flow seamlessly around the cube, wrapping four faces at once. Intuitive, fluid, and a new dimension of thinking.
Choose a layout
Same idea. Different trouble.
Starter - 1x1x2
A tiny layout for learning the rules without pressure. It is quick, friendly, and surprisingly useful when you first meet the band mechanics.
Simple - 1x1x3
Still small, but now the puzzle has a little more room to misbehave. A good next step once Starter feels too polite.
Junior - 1x2x2
Compact, readable, and no longer completely harmless. Junior is where SkimmIQ starts asking whether you really understood the previous layouts.
Solid - 2x2x2
This one looks familiar, which is exactly why it can be dangerous. A small cube, simple shape, and enough movement to make confidence wobble.
Tower - 1x3x3
A tall layout with more space for mistakes, recovery, and small moments of panic. It feels different from a cube, but the logic is still pure SkimmIQ.
Master - 3x3x3
The full cube experience. More bands, more choices, and many more ways to be almost right. For players who enjoy thinking one move further.
Choose your difficulty
Two colors, three colors, or full chaos.
Easy Mode - The warm-up
Two colors, real logic, low drama. Easy is where you learn how the bands behave before the puzzle starts raising its voice.
Moderate Mode - The interesting part
Three colors make every decision matter a little more. Still readable, still fair, but no longer willing to let you move on autopilot.
Classic Mode - The full mess
Six colors, full SkimmIQ logic, and plenty of ways to confidently lose track of what you were doing. Difficult, but honestly, that is the point.
