Operating Instructions
The Shashibo cube is designed for intuitive play. Its internal magnetic system allows it to transform into over 70 different geometric shapes. Gently manipulate the cube by pulling, pushing, and folding its segments to discover new configurations. Each satisfying click indicates a new stable form.
Exploring Shapes
Begin by unfolding the cube from its initial square shape. Experiment with different angles and pivot points. The magnets will guide the pieces into various stable positions. There is no single "correct" way to play; exploration is key.

Connecting Multiple Cubes
The strong internal magnet system allows you to connect multiple Shashibo cubes to create larger structures and sculptures. Align the magnetic faces of two or more cubes and they will snap together, expanding your creative possibilities.

Maintenance
To ensure the longevity of your Shashibo cube, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Wipe the surface with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these may damage the matte or high-gloss finish.
- Storage: Store the cube in a clean, dry place away from extreme temperatures and direct sunlight.
- Handling: While durable, avoid excessive force or dropping the cube from significant heights, as this could potentially damage the internal magnets or plastic structure.
Troubleshooting
The Shashibo cube is designed for robust performance. Should you encounter any issues, consider the following:
- Difficulty in Transformation: Ensure you are applying gentle, even pressure. The magnets are designed to guide the transformation, not resist it. If a segment feels stuck, try manipulating it from a different angle.
- Magnets Seem Weak (when connecting multiple cubes): While the internal magnets are strong, external factors or improper alignment can affect connection. Ensure the faces are fully aligned for optimal magnetic attraction. If you suspect a defect, please contact customer support.
