Last week I blogged about promotional puzzles and how we came across traditional board games turned super small. This week we’ve discovered in Linz, Austria, there was a Rubik’s Cube turned super gigantic!

Thanks to Javier Lloret, and his project Puzzle Facade, the Ars Electronica’s media facade turned into a real life mega sized Rubik’s cube back in Oct 2013. This mega sized Rubik’s interacts with players via a handheld interface cube. At any one time the player can only see 2 sides of the cube thus making the solving this already difficult puzzle more puzzling. (Though rest assured, according to the project it is solvable!)

I don’t stand a chance in solving just a normal Rubik’s so I’m pretty sure I won’t be able to solve this one in Austria either! However just seeing the building transformed into bright lights and watching another person transform each panel would be pretty spectacular thing itself.

As a kid, I use to enjoy a not so well known game called "Holiday" and the popular Monopoly, Uno and Chinese Checkers with my sibblings.  For some reason, I always wanted the game Twisters, even though I may have only actually played it once or twice in my life so far.  For some reason, the TV ads with the big family and friends scene of squealing and laughter made it seem so appealing and fun!

Nowadays, we encourage our kids to play the board games traditionally, but the temptation of the computerised version makes it so much more easily assessible. Many of the traditional games are now available on your iPad, Nintendo Wii, Playstation and Xbox (eg Scrabble, Monopoly and Uno on iPad with just a click of a button - less couple dollars).
