Cubing Games?

[FelixFelicis]

So I am hosting a local fun competition, and I could really need some good ideas for activities that we could do that could be fun.
For example, I am already including a mini factory solve competition that seems like it could be good.

Team blind, factory solving with more cubes,lefty righty challenge

Yes those seem like great ideas, but the general competitors in my comp are beginners, so I need something that is sort of a challenge, but not too much that it becomes not-fun. And also most of my competitors only know 3x3. But you're ideas are great, I might try them out with my friends. (Once I learn blind)

But team blind doesn't require you to know blind????

Team blind just requires the knowledge of cube notation, the odd few triggers and maybe PLLs

 

[FelixFelicis]

Yes, but like I said, most of my competitors are beginners and don't know pll or cube notation.

What better way to learn notation than TeamBLD? PLLs aren't necessary at all by the way; worst case, the caller will just say each move aloud. If you want the people there to eventually get more interested in cubing, notation is basically a necessity, even for beginners.

As far as other fun things you could do, you could try actual events that don't require any non-3x3 knowledge like one-handed or 2x2, or simpler things like racing to do the checkerboard pattern (or some other pattern). Something else that's actually surprisingly fun is cap flipping. All you need is a cube with removable center caps and a timer.

1 move at a time factory solve

 

[FelixFelicis]

Okay, I'll include team blind. Thank you! But I think I might need one more event.

 

[FelixFelicis]

I already have 2x2 and pyraminx too. (Thanks DG though)

Thanks for the idea, that sounds like an awesome event (and thanks for the hilarious video that comes with, I laughed a lot ^^)
It reminded me of some stupid events we filmed back in 2010 or something, such as floppy 2x2 blind, or PLL blind (yeah... )
