A 3D Rubik's cube that teaches you the Fridrich method
It's a demo with a made-up business: the names, photos and prices are placeholders.
Who it's for
- Teachers and schools who teach something step by step and want to show it in 3D.
- Tutorial creators who currently rely on video alone.
- Hobby clubs and communities that want their own practice site.
What's inside
- A 3D cube that scrambles and solves itself with the Fridrich method (CFOP), with a live timer and move count.
- All 119 cases (41 F2L, 57 OLL and 21 PLL) with diagram, name and algorithm, checked against a simulator.
- A practice mode where the cube sets up each case in front of you and solves it with you: step by step, straight through or slow with pauses.
- A nine-chapter guide, from the cross to PLL, with an interactive notation board.
- Keyboard shortcuts on desktop and a cube you turn with your finger on mobile.
- The cases you've learned are saved in your browser.
Anything you do with your hands is hard to explain in writing. Anyone who teaches the Rubik's cube knows it: an algorithm like R U R' U' doesn't click until you see it turn. Mariscal Cubo is a site for learning the Fridrich method (CFOP) where the teacher is the 3D cube.
A cube that solves itself
The home page opens with a cube that scrambles and solves itself with real CFOP while a scoreboard tracks time and moves. "Start practising" sends the cube flying into practice mode: pick a case, the cube sets it up in front of you and solves it with you, at whatever pace you like. All 119 cases are there with their diagram, name and algorithm, along with a nine-chapter guide from the cross to PLL.
Why it matters beyond the cube
What this site does works for anything learned step by step: a 3D object that shows every move, a catalogue where nothing is made up (every diagram comes from a simulator and is tested) and a practice mode where the learner sets the pace. It's the kind of tool a school or a course creator can offer instead of a playlist of videos.
For whatever you teach
This demo teaches the Fridrich method, but the same build works for other subjects: your material, your exercises, your brand and your students' languages. If you run a course, a community or a club, we'll shape it around you.
Grab your cube
Head to rubik.themariscal.com, watch it solve itself, then hit "Start practising". If there's a cube nearby, grab it.
