GAN Blue Box Bundle 3

GAN Blue Box Bundle 3: GAN11 M and GAN Mirror in a gift set

GAN Blue Box Bundle 3 is an official gift set from GAN with two 3x3 cubes: the magnetic speed cube GAN11 M and the purple GAN Mirror cube. Both come packed in a light blue box with an iridescent print. The set makes a great gift, because you get a cube for fast solving and a puzzle that offers a completely different challenge.

GAN11 M: a cube for practice

GAN11 M is a magnetic 3x3 cube with tension adjustment. The magnets help the layers snap into place, so turns feel more precise and the cube overshoots less often during fast turning. If you are switching from a regular store-bought cube, you will notice a clear jump in smoothness and control. Users praise it in reviews for performing well straight out of the box. It is not GAN's newest flagship, so an advanced speedcuber looking for a top-tier mechanism will probably go for a newer model anyway. For learning, regular practice and your first timed solves, it is a perfectly sensible cube.

GAN Mirror: solving by shape

A mirror cube works like a 3x3, but all the faces are the same colour and the pieces differ in thickness. Once scrambled, the cube loses its cube shape, and you have to solve it by shape, not by colour. If you already know a method for the regular 3x3, you can use it, but you need to recognise the pieces by their size. The Mirror is an interesting change from everyday practice and a nice cube for the shelf, as it looks striking when scrambled.

Who is this set for?

It makes the most sense for someone who already solves the 3x3 or is just learning and wants a decent magnetic cube plus something for variety. It is a good gift for a child or teenager interested in cubes, as the parent does not have to choose a model on their own. If you only need a speedcubing cube, you can buy the 3x3 on its own. The set is worth it mainly if the Mirror will also be put to use. Other versions of the GAN Blue Box Bundle with different cubes are also available.
