Cube Cut Details

Think you’re pretty good at solving 3D puzzles? Put that assumption to the test in Cube Cut, a 3D spatial reasoning puzzle game where you carve into cubes to try and match blueprints. Don’t mess up or else your cube gets scrapped and you have to start all over. Cube Cut starts out easy but gets more difficult as you rank up from trainee to apprentice and beyond. Customize your cube with crazy colors as you level up.

See if you have the spatial awareness needed to succeed in high-demand jobs like machinist, CNC machine operator, welder, and technician. Play well enough in this game and you will be pointed to real-life career opportunities in these fields.

Cube Cut was developed by Catalyst Connection and Simcoach Games, thanks to generous funding from the Chevron Foundation and the Benedum Foundation, to build awareness of the career opportunities in manufacturing.
