Is Wonderbeings a word? We are gonna say ’sure, why not?’ If you disagree, please politely put your complaint into the nearest bit bucket. Now then, back to the Wonderbeings that are Cube World digital stick-people.

What is Cube World?
Well, to explain it using the manufacturer’s slogan, Cube World is simply, ‘Stick People Sticking Together’. That’s not a bad first pass, but we are going to go one better and give you the inside scoop on just how interesting Cube World really is. Forget about Tamagotchis, these things are function before cute. But cute is present, trust us. Cube World is a complex community of digital people who live in boxes. They each have their own behavior set. The boxes they live in have magnetic contacts on four sides (conduits we might say) so that they might connect with other Cube World folks. When connected Cube World folks interact with one another in amazing ways. It’s that simple. And complex. And therein lies the fundamental pleasure with Cube World.

They have free will!
You can use the included motion sensors to shake ‘em up a bit or even use the buttons to play games with each individual Cube World figure. But that’s not the fun part. The real fun is getting Cube World folks to interact by simply connecting one cube to another. When connected, you might find that one guy wants to move into the next cube for a while. What will he do? It all depends! They will start to interact most definitely. They are social creatures and will want to interact with one another and you’ll get to watch as they explore different ways to connect. Whip might try to wrangle Scoop’s dog to his Cube, and Dodger might toss his ball to Slim between Cubes. Nobody knows exactly what’s gonna happen when. And whenever you think you really know what’s going on, just move one cube to a different position, reconnect and you’ll be amazed yet again. Endless hours of happiness are bound to ensue.
