The New York Times calls Sifteo cubes “a kick in the imagination,” and TIME says they are “unlike anything you’ve ever experienced.” Sifteo cubes are miniature computers that interact with each other, sense their motion, and display color graphics to provide an innovative, hands-on approach to play. Neighbor, tilt, flip, and shake Sifteo cubes to get your brain and hands moving. Experience endless gameplay with Sifteo’s expanding library of downloadable games for all ages.
Features:- Works great with three cubes (included in Starter Pack), and get even better with up to six!
- Recommended for ages 6 through 106!
- Browse & download games or create your own with the Sifteo Creativity Kit™
- Charging dock can recharge up to six cubes at once
- Each cube is a clickable full-color LCD display
- Internet connection not needed for play once a game has been saved
How it Works: Each Sifteo cube contains a clickable full-color LCD display, a variety of motion sensors, and a rechargeable battery housed in a sturdy 1.5 inch block—perfect for hands of all ages to grab and play with. Sifteo cubes work with your computer. Your computer runs games and plays the soundtrack: you need your computer nearby during gameplay. You'll get best performance within a few feet of the Siftlink wireless radio (which plugs into your computer’s USB port). The Siftrunner desktop software is your command-center: browse and play your games, create your own with the Sifteo Creativity Kit™, and find more games in the Sifteo store! After download, you do not need to be connected to the Internet to play, and you can still use other applications on your computer while someone is playing (by minimizing Siftrunner). The included Sifteo charging dock can recharge up to six cubes at once, and can store your cubes and USB link when not in use.

- Siftlink wireless radio (delivers games to the cubes)
