FIDGET MASTER – feat. CubeIQ

FIDGET MASTER™ – feat. CubeIQ

Fidget Master is a fast-paced puzzle challenge for 2–4 players built around the amazing CubeIQ puzzle.

How to Play

1. Each player starts with a Master Coin placed in front of them with the "1" side facing up.

2. Select a challenge by spinning the wheel.

   

3. All players attempt to build the selected shape at the same time. The player who spun the wheel begins the round by counting down from three before play starts.
4. Points are awarded based on finishing position:
   • 1st place: 4 points
   • 2nd place: 3 points
   • 3rd place: 2 points
   • 4th place: 1 point
5. After three rounds, the player with the most points wins the match.
6. The match winner flips their Master Coin.
7. The first player to flip their Master Coin two times wins the game.

Note: The shapes shown on the spinning wheel are displayed as they appear when viewed from directly above.

Tied Finishes

If two or more players complete a challenge at the same time, those players immediately compete in a tie-breaker using the base shape.

The first player to complete the base shape receives the higher placement.

If the tie-breaker also results in a tie, the placement is determined by a random draw.

Assembly Guide

The spinning wheel is assembled using the included axle and nut.

1. Insert the axle through the center of the spinning wheel.
2. Attach the nut and tighten it until the wheel is held securely.
3. Do not overtighten. Tighten only enough to hold the spinning wheel in place while still allowing it to spin freely.
4. Place the assembled spinning wheel inside the lid.
5. Guide the axle through the hole in the center of the game board.
6. Make sure the game board is fully seated in the lowest position inside the lid.

If needed, please refer to the assembly video for a visual demonstration.
