Swift Block WiSlide Smart Klotski UV

Swift Block WiSlide Smart Klotski UV

This is the classic Klotski sliding puzzle in a smart version. It's made by Swift Block, a brand owned by GAN, the company known for its smart cubes. Swift Block WiSlide Smart Klotski UV connects to your phone via the free Slideverse app. This means the physical puzzle can also be used for in-app challenges, saving your records and competing with other players. This version has a UV-coated body and a stickerless bright colour scheme.

What is Klotski?

Klotski is a puzzle with blocks of different sizes that you slide around the board without lifting them out. Your goal is to clear a path for a chosen block or to arrange a given layout. The rules are easy to understand, but harder levels require you to plan several moves ahead. Klotski trains a different kind of thinking than a cube, where it's all about memorising algorithms and TPS.

Smart Klotski and the Slideverse app

• Quick start. You download the Slideverse app by scanning the QR code on the box.
• Challenges and game modes. The app includes several games and a set of puzzles, and new challenges can be downloaded on an ongoing basis.
• Online community. Your results are saved, and you can compete with other users online.
• Magnetic pieces. The blocks are based on magnets.
• Exact puzzle setup. When setting up a challenge on the board, you need to use exactly the blocks indicated by the app. If the layout doesn't match, the app will report an error after the first few moves.

There is also a separate set of numbered blocks for the WiSlide (Number Puzzle Pieces). It turns the puzzle into a numeric sliding puzzle, and the app still tracks your moves.

UV or standard version?

The WiSlide comes in two versions: the standard one with a matte (frosted) body and the UV one. The smart features are the same; only the finish differs. The UV coating gives a glossy look, slightly better grip and protects the surface from scratches. If you prefer matte plastic, the standard version will suit you better.

Who is it for?

For people who enjoy logic puzzles and want something different from yet another cube, and for cubers looking for some variety between sessions. It's also a great gift for a child who enjoys challenges with increasing difficulty. Remember that the smart features require a phone with the Slideverse app.
