About Rubik's

What started out as a puzzle created by Professor Ernő Rubik to teach architectural students has evolved into the world's most successful single toy, perceived globally as an art form and also an iconic symbol of intelligence and problem solving.

In 1980, the Rubik's Cube was officially introduced to the world. Now in its 40^th anniversary and led by CEO Christoph Bettin, 450 million Cubes have been sold to date with 2020 set to be a breakthrough year with over 20 million Rubik's products expected to be sold globally. Adding to the excitement of the anniversary year, Rubik's has formed several partnerships to create brand new and unique Rubik's themed games and puzzles. These include Etch-A-Sketch, The Op, Perplexus, DeKryptic and Marvin's Magic.

Within the USA, You CAN Do the Rubik's Cube program typically places cubes into the hands of half a million students every year, helping them learn critical STEM and STEAM concepts.

About Guinness World Records

Guinness World Records (https://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/) inspires people - individuals, families, schools, teams, groups, companies and communities – of any age, in any city or country. 

The organisation believes that inspiration comes from reading, watching, listening to and participating in record-breaking. 

The people at Guinness World Records don't define or recognise success in a conventional or limited way and therefore draws upon the entire range of superlatives to help people realise their potential and to re-examine the world.
