📖 A Little History
The Soma Cube was invented by Danish mathematician Piet Hein in 1933 — legend has it he came up with the idea during a lecture on quantum mechanics. The original challenge is to assemble all 7 pieces into a 3×3×3 cube, a task that looks simple but has 240 distinct solutions. It's been a beloved puzzle classic for nearly a century, and for good reason.
🎮 How to Use
- Open the wooden box and lay out all 7 pieces.
- Pick a challenge card and study the 3D shape shown.
- Use all 7 pieces to recreate the shape — every piece must be used each time.

- Work through the difficulty levels at your own pace — easy, medium, and hard.
