PedanTIC | Turning Interlocking Cube

PedanTIC is a 6-piece Turning Interlocking Cube puzzle designed by Andrew Crowell. Rated Hard difficulty, with a 1-4 hour solve time. The pieces lock and rotate in ways that defy intuition - assembling them into a perfect 4x4x4 cube requires spatial logic, patience, and a willingness to undo what felt right.

Best for: adults who enjoy hard mechanical puzzles and want a slow, deeply satisfying solve that rewards persistence over speed.

What makes PedanTIC different?

Most Turning Interlocking Cubes run 3-5 pieces. PedanTIC has 6 - and that extra complexity is felt immediately. Andrew Crowell's TIC series is widely regarded as the gold standard of turning interlocking cube design, and PedanTIC earns its place near the top of that list.

The deception is part of the design. From certain angles, the cube looks complete and correct. It is not. You will be convinced you are close. You may not be. Rotation moves are required throughout - straight pushing will never get you there. Every time you think you have it, the puzzle reminds you otherwise.

Ships assembled. Size: 60x60x60mm.

FAQ

What is a Turning Interlocking Cube puzzle?

A Turning Interlocking Cube (TIC) is a 3D mechanical puzzle where pieces must rotate as they interlock - straight pushing alone will never solve it. The goal is to assemble all pieces into a perfect cube.

How hard is the PedanTIC puzzle?

PedanTIC is rated Hard, with a typical solve time of 1-4 hours. Its 6-piece count makes it more complex than entry-level TICs, which usually have 3-4 pieces.

Is PedanTIC good for a gift?

Yes - it is a bestseller and suits adults who enjoy serious mechanical puzzles. Pair it with another TIC or explore a TIC bundle collection for a complete gift set.

PedanTIC is included in the Titan TICtician Bundle - the best way to build a full TIC collection at once.

FAQ

Do You Ship Worldwide?

Yes. I ship anywhere. Orders typically arrive in 1-3 weeks depending on your location and how customs is behaving.

How Long Does Processing Take?

Some puzzles are produced on demand in our studio in Czech Republic. Processing usually takes 3-5 days before your order ships. During busier seasons it may take a bit longer.

Do Puzzles Come With Solutions?

Usually not. Sometimes you can find the solution on my YouTube channel. If not, feel free to reach out for hints!

What If I Get Stuck?

Good. That's the whole point.

But if "stuck" turns into "frustrated and not having fun anymore," email me. I'll send you a hint if you want a nudge. No judgment. Some puzzles took me days. A few took weeks. Some took months. Some took years. And some I have never solved - and that is part of the appeal.

Returns & Exchanges

Yes. You have 30 days. If the puzzle isn't right for you, send it back in the condition you got it and I'll refund you. If something arrived damaged or wrong, tell me and I'll fix it. Please be patient as we're a small team!

Are These Good Gifts?

People LOVE buying our puzzles as gifts. They're physical, they last forever, they don't need batteries, and they create a real moment - the person sits down, struggles, laughs, eventually solves it. That memory sticks.

If you're gifting, check the difficulty rating and pick something one notch below what you think the person can handle. Easier than you'd guess is usually the right call.

How Are the Puzzles Made?

All the puzzles are made with the help of my partner Puzzle Guy and his 3D printing studio in Czech Republic.

What Is a TIC Puzzle?

TIC stands for Turning Interlocking Cubes. They're a family of puzzles where wooden pieces interlock and rotate into a cube shape. The solve isn't just sliding pieces - you have to find the right rotations, in the right order. They're some of my favorite puzzles in the store.

Why Is Everything Turquoise?

I grew up near the sea in Israel. When life got loud or overwhelming, that's where I went to reset. Sit, watch the water, breathe. Things would settle.

The turquoise on this site isn't a branding choice I picked from a swatch. It's that color. The one I still see when I close my eyes and think of the place that calmed me down. I want you to feel a small version of that when you pick up a puzzle - a quiet moment, hands busy, head clear.
