Woah amazing, I think you are the second person to do this after Enoch.
Enoch has also blindfolded lot of unofficial puzzles as well.

Haha thanks @abunickabhi. I do a bunch of unofficial puzzles blindfolded as well...I have to find time to film videos for those.

Wow! Congrats!
I still haven't done Square-1, because normally I try to figure out a system by myself (which seems to be hard for that puzzle) - and I think you need a lot of tracing, where I am really terrible at.
And please do film the other puzzles. Have you done the Pyraminx Crystal? This is listed in the 6x6+-blindfold-rankings, so it should be interesting.
One of the toughest puzzles in my opinion is the "stonecube", maybe not solving it, but finding a system. It is one of these: http://www.ziicube.com/LanLan-4axis-Rhombic-Dodecahedron

@Jacck Thank you very much!
The Square-1 was by a huge mile the toughest puzzle for me to solve blindfolded in the official puzzle list. It took me some time to be able to consistently trace all cube shapes, and by comparison, 7x7 blindfolded took 4 days with 1 try/day to get my first successful solve, and my subsequent 7x7 solves were mostly successful ones.
And thanks for the suggestion! I am going to order the Pyraminx crystal and the stone cube online to try them lol.

Surprising, it seems to get a rare puzzle now (pretty sure I saw it on ziicube only months ago). I found it here:
They say, that it was already out of stock this year twice. I never bought something there and I don't know, whether it is a good shop - seems to be pretty expensive, too.
To be honest: the Pyraminx Crystal is kind of torture, because you'll get either lock-ups or pop-outs very often, if you are not very careful, so funfactor is pretty low - and this explaines, why only 4 persons are listed right now. Maybe I own a very poor one. I started it, because I already bought it many years ago and then wanted to be somewhere in the Top 3
EDIT: Just found this:

Much cheaper and it seems to be a good shop (don't know it, but it seems to be a specialist vor cubes).

Just thought I could mention I have solved all WCA puzzles blindfolded in the Weekly Competition at some point or another.
Anyway, nice achievement! Agreed, square-1 is the biggest challenge here.

@Mike Hughey Thanks! And btw I watched your 10 Square-1 MultiBLD video and was super impressed! I might be inspired to try Square-1 multiBLD sometime.

Sounds good! Actually, since each cube is really not that much to memorize (less than a 3x3x3), it's actually not that difficult (beyond the difficulty of just being able to handle a single square-1 BLD). The main reason I wanted so much to do square-1 multiBLD is that getting a big square-1 multiBLD is such good proof that your method really is solid and works well across all cubeshapes.

Yea that's solid proof that your method is working well indeed!
