Rubik's 360 Instructions

The Challenge

Starting with all six balls inside the centre sphere and the locking rings open, your challenge is to move the balls into to their matching coloured domes on the outside.

How it's Done

By turning the Rubik's 360° you can move the two inner spheres.

Sphere 1. has a hole in it which the balls can pass through.

Sphere 2. has two holes in it, both of which can align with the hole in sphere 1.

The holes in sphere 2. will each align with three of the domes in which the balls need to be placed.

Both spheres have a weight opposite their holes. These weights mean gravity ensures the holes will remain above the axis of rotation, and the balls will be below it.

By understanding how the axis of rotation of each sphere works you can over come the force of gravity and invert the spheres to allow the balls to drop through the holes.

Lock and Pause Play

Turn the black domes to open and close the locking rings.

You can do this when you've completed the Rubik's 360° to lock the balls in place. You may also close the locking rings at any time to pause play and come back later.

You may also like to use the locking rings during play. You may find it useful to close the locking rings to protect the balls you have placed from dropping out of their domes. Then only opening the locking ring when you are ready to place the next ball in it's dome.

Reset and Play Again

Turn the Rubik's 360° and hold the black domes with your fingers and thumbs.

With the locking rings open rotate the Rubik's 360° around the black domes.

As the balls reach the top they will automatically drop out of their domes and through the holes of sphere 2.

Then tilt the Rubik's 360° from side to side to align the hole in Sphere 1. so the balls can drop back inside.

Once all the balls are back inside you are set to try again.
