SengSo Round-in-Square Cube

SengSo Round-in-Square Cube

SengSo Round-in-Square Cube is an unusual puzzle from ShengShou. SengSo is the brand under which this manufacturer now releases most of its cubes and shape mods. This isn't just a regular 3x3 cube in a different colour. It's a puzzle outside the standard categories, better suited to your collection or as a break from everyday practice than as a tool for breaking records.

Look and size

The cube measures approx. 65.5 mm, so it is noticeably larger than a typical 3x3 speed cube (usually around 56 mm). The exact dimensions are 63 x 61.6 x 61 mm. A slight difference between the axes is normal for puzzles with irregularly shaped pieces. The larger size means the puzzle sits securely in your hand, and the division into pieces is easy to see.

This version is Stickerless Bright, meaning the pieces are made of coloured plastic with no stickers. Nothing can peel off or wear away, even after long use. The bright, clear colours are easy to tell apart, which matters on a puzzle whose pattern you don't know yet.

Is it a speedcubing cube?

Not in the competitive sense. Round-in-Square is not a WCA event, and ShengShou doesn't design it for TPS. It's a puzzle where what counts is understanding how the pieces move and finding your own way to solve it. If you already know 3x3 methods, you won't solve it from muscle memory. You have to go back to thinking for a while instead of replaying algorithms, and that's exactly where the fun of puzzles like this lies.

Who is it for?

Above all for people who collect unusual puzzles and want something off the beaten track in their collection. It will also suit a cuber who has mastered the 3x3 and is looking for a new challenge without spending a lot of money. It's also a great gift idea for a child who likes cubes, because this puzzle looks different from anything that usually sits on a desk.
