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.

Here are some images courtesy of Daily Mail UK’s recent article on the Puzzle Facade, http://www.dailymail.co.uk.

At night, the building is transformed by a player.

The handheld interfaced cube: a simple looking, but highly complex device.
