What Our Customers Say
"Lots of good games in here. Fair mimic of the show by using various items in different ways. Very competitive and some tasks do go quite up the difficulty level. Good family fun."
Nozzy
"My son requested this for Christmas, I was a bit reluctant having read the reviews which weren't very good. Having said that we had a lot of fun with it, the tasks were quite difficult though and that was using the easier option. Good fun for parties."
J. A. Davies
"I chose this game as a present for my fiancé because he loved the show and we were not disappointed. It is nice that different people find different challenges more difficult. Lots of fun and very challenging. Would definitely recommend."
Faerie
"The Cube game is absolutely amazing and great for all the family to play, we had a fantastic evening playing some of the games and so much laughter it really made my family's Christmas thank you."
Shirl
"We've never had so much fun playing a game with the family! The games are hard but not unachievable. Different people are able to do different challenges better than others - so each time you play someone different wins. Great game highly recommended."
Christine
"Very good game. Can be played by the whole family from a lad of 7 through to a 68 year old. Good family entertainment, and would also be suitable for any party. Not just about questions and answers, but a whole host of different tasks, that gets everyone laughing."

About The Cube Board Game
The Cube burst onto British television screens as one of ITV's most gripping game shows, hosted by Philip Schofield. The concept was deceptively simple - contestants step into a perspex cube and attempt seemingly straightforward challenges under intense pressure. What looked easy from the outside became extraordinarily difficult once inside.
The show's popularity led to the release of The Cube Board Game, bringing that same tension and excitement into living rooms across the UK. Designed for 2 to 6 players aged 8 and up, the game faithfully recreates the TV experience with 50 electronic and physical challenges spread across 7 nail-biting rounds.
Players begin with 9 lives and special tokens - Simplify and Trial Run - mirroring the format fans know from the show. The electronic timer adds authentic pressure as families and friends discover that tasks which seem trivially easy become surprisingly hard when the stakes are raised.
