The 3x3x3 Pentatrap Ghost Cube is a standard 3×3 with 3D-printed extensions that offset every layer and push the outline into a pentagonal, asymmetric form. It never looks symmetrical, solved or not.
That’s the trap. Because the solved shape is already irregular, you can’t use symmetry to check your progress. You have to know where each piece belongs by its own geometry.
Who it’s for: confident ghost-cube solvers. If you found the 2×2 Pentatrap fun, this is the real version.
Why it’s worth it: listed in the Twisty Puzzle Museum, the reference archive collectors use to record original and notable designs. At 140 mm tip to tip, it’s also a substantial piece on a shelf.
Specifications: Base 3x3x3 · Ghost puzzle · Pentagonal, asymmetric · 140 mm between tips · 250 g · PLA Plus extensions · Difficulty 4/5
