Word-Based Rubik's Puzzle

A reimagining of the Rubik's cube as a word-based daily puzzle game that combines the accessibility of Wordle with the tactile satisfaction of physical manipulation.

Key Points:

  • Core Concept:

    • Letters instead of colors on Rubik's cube faces
    • Players rotate cube to form words
    • Daily puzzle format like Wordle
    • Should take about 5 minutes to complete
  • Key Features:

    • Daily starting letter combination provided via website or app notification
    • Players must rotate cube to create words
    • Simpler than traditional Rubik's cube
    • Designed to be accessible, not overly complex
  • Target Market:

    • People who enjoy daily word games like Wordle
    • Those intimidated by traditional Rubik's cube difficulty
    • Casual gamers looking for quick daily puzzles
  • Distribution:

    • Physical product (the cube)
    • Digital component for daily puzzles
    • Website or app for starting positions
  • Business Model:

    • One-time purchase of physical cube
    • Free daily puzzles to drive engagement
