Hey everyone!
We're a small team of fellow cubers who have been working on a project called SolveOffs, and we'd love to introduce it to the SpeedSolving community.
The idea is pretty simple: we wanted to create something like Chess.com, but for speedcubing. A place where you can compete against other cubers, climb the rankings and actually have something to play for beyond improving your personal best.
Here's what we've built so far:
SolveOffs is completely free to play. We're not trying to sell anything here, which is why we hoped it would be okay to share the project on this forum. As cubers ourselves, our goal is simply to build something that adds value to the speedcubing community and hopefully makes competitive cubing more accessible and fun.
One of our biggest challenges right now is building an active player base. Since speedcubing is a relatively niche community, getting enough people online at the same time for live matchmaking isn't easy. We've introduced ghost battles to help with this while the community grows.
We're also continuously improving our camera verification system. Making it reliable across different lighting conditions, cameras and cubes has been quite a technical challenge.
We'd genuinely love some feedback from experienced cubers. Especially on the battle system, verification and what features would make you want to keep playing.
You can check it out here: https://solveoffs.live
We're still early in development, but we're pretty proud of where it's at.
Looking forward to hearing what you guys think!

Here's what we've built so far:
- Ranked 1v1 battles: Compete against other cubers with an Elo-based ranking system.
- Camera verification: We've developed a system that uses your camera to verify your scrambled and solved cube, helping keep battles fair.
- Clans: Create or join a clan, chat with other cubers and compete together.
- Tournaments: Compete in tournaments with other players.
- Solo mode: Practice against bots and work your way through 15 levels.
- Badges and leaderboards: Track your progress and show off your achievements.
