The Electric Shock Puzzle Cube is a innocent enough looking rubik cube game that is actually a hidden gag gift that is designed to provide a startling trauma upon the body when attempted to use. The game is a great novelty item for adults looking to trick their friends, loved ones and family members.

Traditionally a rubik cube is solved when all of the colored squares are returned to their appropriate sides of the cube. While this toy version still looks the same with the various primary colored sides, the Electric Shock Puzzle can be turned comfortably two times before sending a small shock through the hands of the player. Despite the normal appearance of the cube, it is a sneaky gift to give someone that [loves to solve puzzles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/elephant-in-the-room1).
