Race a friend at Rubik's Cube
Send a link. Same scramble. Race.
Free · No signup · WCA scrambles · Plays on your phone
Want to settle who's faster? CubeArena lets you challenge a friend to a Rubik's Cube race in seconds. Create a room, send them the link or 6-character code, and the moment they join you're both racing the exact same scramble.
Your friend doesn't need an account or an app — the link opens straight into the game on whatever device they're on. That makes it perfect for casual play: grab someone who's never touched a speedcube and race them, or line up a rival for a best-of-however-many. When a round ends you can rematch with one tap.
Both of you get the identical scramble and a synced start, so it's a fair race every time — and it plays great on phones, so you can challenge someone across the room or across the world.

Questions
How do I race a friend at Rubik's Cube?
In CubeArena, create a room and send your friend the link or 6-character code. When they open it you both get the same scramble and race — first to solve the 3x3 wins.
Does my friend need to install or sign up for anything?
No. The invite link opens the game directly in their browser on any device — no account, no download. They just tap the link and race.
Can we play again after a race?
Yes. After each round there's a one-tap rematch, so you can run as many races as you like with a fresh scramble each time.
What if we're both beginners and slow?
That's fine — it's a race between the two of you, so being evenly matched makes it fun at any speed. You don't need to be a fast speedcuber.
