Our new project is here and live!

Hey backers and friends,
We are here with a different update this time :) We have some exciting news, and we want you guys to be the first ones to know about it.
We were asked so many times what would our next project be, and when would it be available… we can now shout it out loud -
GoDice! And it is now live on Kickstarter!
Get ready to be amazed. Again ;)
This time we took the 5,000 years old dice, with the worldwide most popular (dice) games and gave it our new, fun, great looking, super-cool techy twist!
GoDice are smart Bluetooth connected dice that bring the most popular & classic dice games (such as Yatzy, Farkle and many more), to the 21st century, with the finest quality, design, and technology.
And you are the first ones to know about it!! -
We kept the fun part of game nights, with real dice shaken and rolled on a board game, and connected it to the app that knows when each die is taken, shaken, rolled, and what numbers come out. GoDice data immediately syncs to the app, so - paper, scoresheets, writing, tracking and calculating are no longer needed (all done instantly and automatically), so you can focus on the fun, luck, and strategic part of the game. It will also record your stats, will manage your playgroup, and will even give you tips on how to become better! LET THE FUN BEGIN !!
The app comes with awesome friends/family games, bar games, educational games, as well as an API for developers to create their own. Some examples of games are the popular Yatzy, Farkle, Ludo, Pig, and many more “Roll and Write” games.
GoDice is based on cutting edge technology, and advanced engineering to fit sensors, processing, wireless and power into a standard casino-like dice!
The power solution is based on a super-capacitor, rather than batteries, which delivers long product life and super-fast charging. A 10-second charge enables one hour of game play.
We kept our promise once and brought you the most amazing connected smart cube - the GoCube. You were super surprised by the final result of our first campaign. Trust us when we say - we gonna do it again! The technology inside GoDice, the value, and the fun it brings are freakin’ awesome!
For a limited time only, we will offer a special “early birds” offer. Make sure to be among the first ones to get GoDice, and get ready to play!
If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to - info@getGoDice.com
Keep on playing, YOLO, make it fun and beautiful! :)
Till next time,
Yours,
The GoCube (and now also GoDice :) ) team

"UnboxGoCube" contest is now LIVE !!
over 4 years ago
– Mon, Nov 11, 2019 at 01:49:32 AM
Hi to our great and talented backers!
It has been a while now, and we kinda missed you, so we thought we should do something fun together. Like running a contest, with bells and prizes!
The "UnboxGoCube" contest!
Do you remember the "UnboxGoCube" contest? We've been waiting for the right time to arrive, and it's finally here!
Here is a YouTube playlist (some will say - the best YouTube playlist out there ;) ) with your "UnboxGoCube" videos. All videos are numbered (and were entered into this playlist by the order they were received by us).
This is how it's gonna work -
- You choose the video(s) you like the most (3 max).
- You write its number as a COMMENT on our Facebook page, in the dedicated post.
- For multiple votes, please use separate comments, but make sure to write each number only once. For example: if you chose videos no. 4 and 5 - write one comment with the number “4” in it and only one comment with the number “5”. If you write the same number more than once - it will be deleted, and you will be jinxed by the person at GoCube who counts the votes.
- The video with the highest number of votes wins a $200 AMAZON GIFT CARD!!
@Unboxers - this is time to call old friends and ask them to vote ;)
Oh, wait, that’s not all. A new shiny GoCube Full Pack will be raffled among the winner's voters.
How it works:
IMPORTANT !!!!!!!!!
- After you vote, Share your chosen videos on your social media.
- Hashtag #UnboxGoCube plus the number of the video. For example- if you chose video no.4, hashtag - #UnboxGoCube4.
-Voila! You just entered the raffle to win a NEW GoCube FULL PACK!
Remember, you can vote only ONCE for each video, and can vote for up to 3 videos.
LET'S MAKE SOME NOISE OUT THERE!
Contest starts NOW and will end in exactly a week from now, on November 17th at 12am EST.
Please, please, PLEASE, keep the Facebook post for votes only.
In case you have any questions or comments, send them to [email protected].
If you've sent us your video and you don't see it on the list, please let us know ASAP - via email to: getgocube.com
Besides that, we truly hope you are enjoying your GoCubes, and that you're climbing your way up on the leaderboard!!!
Till next time,
The GoCube team
App Updates
over 4 years ago
– Fri, Oct 11, 2019 at 01:04:43 AM
Hi Backers,
We are so thankful for having such great backers, who truly care. We hear you, and we take each and every comment to heart and mind and do our best to accommodate your requests. Now, when we have thousands of GoCubers playing with the cube, the feedback that we get is priceless, and what keeps us awake through the long nights, with the desire to make it even better. So we are here with a big update that covers many new features for all levels! Go and explore them!
Everyone LOVE stats!
One of the most repetitive requests that we've got was to be able to record and review your game history (scramble, solve, moves, time, stats etc.). So now you have it, with the option to choose and filter your “favorites” ones :).
You’ve also asked us to add average scores (of 5 games, 12 games, 100 games!), and analyze all data graphically to see how you improve your game!!! - Well, now you have it!
And in order to make it even better, we've added multiple measurements and filters to the graph, so you can watch your progress record (moves, time, TOS) for the cross, the F2L and any other steps during your solve!
* Please note that the advanced stats are only open for Edge Cubes
New Battle Mode
We are continuously working on the “Coming Soon” features, and happy to share that we've opened the “Challenge” battle mode. The “Challenge” battle is great fun (and practice) for all levels, even if you’re not a pro (yet), and even if you can’t do the cube (yet). The system randomly chooses a target pattern for a single face and challenge who can make it faster.
Oh, and we've also added some “Thresholds” for each battle rooms, so you have to be “good enough” to step up and join the next level.
Keep sending your thoughts, your comments, your ideas. We absolutely LOVE them, we truly appreciate it, and as you can see, we really do something about it! :)
Did you get your Diploma?
4,400 backers have successfully graduated our Academy, and received their diplomas.
Make us proud!! Share your diploma for a chance to win a new GoCube Full Pack!
All you need to do is - tap on the "Diploma hat icon" in the Academy, Share your degree on your Facebook page, with the hashtag "GoCubeAcademy", take a screenshot of it, share it on our Facebook page (in the dedicated post), and you might win a new shiny GoCube Full Pack !! (includes the GoCube Edge, a stand and a pouch).
If we reach 200 shared degrees, we will raffle a Gocube full pack, and we must say -
We are super excited about it!
It is super easy, takes literally no time, and so worth it!!
And just to give you some inspiration… -
What else?
Join THE best club in town - We now have more than a thousand (!!) members in our GoCube Club. This is, by far, the best place to be. Share your knowledge, share your experience, help others, ask questions, get creative, stay updated. Join us, we really wanna see you there!
That's it for now friends. We literally can't wait to start receiving your pictures and videos with your GoCubes!

The GoCube team.

Shipping & Customs

Hi Backers,
It is such a pleasure to get your reviews, it is so heartwarming to read your sweet words, it is so rewarding to know that you are enjoying your GoCubes.
As you know, we are flooded with messages, requests, orders, questions, and we appreciate your patience so much. We know it might take us a while to get back to some of you, but we do our best and are thankful for your understanding.
We promised to keep you updated with every new piece of information we get regarding your shipping, so here you go :) -
German Backers - “Undeliverable item”
While many GoCubes were successfully delivered in Germany, we are aware that some of them are still stuck in customs, and that some of you also got the status: "Undeliverable item, has been returned to shipper".
First, we want you to know, GoCube passed all EU related tests by an approved international lab, meets the EU regulations and has all the required marks on the package. We were surprised by the last status as well, especially since all other EU countries passed customs with no issues of this kind.
We have started an investigation with the import department of the Deutsche Post and are in touch with the relevant agencies within the German customs. Even though our hands are pretty tied here, we are doing our utter best to resolve this issue ASAP. We have a dedicated team member (happens to be German), who is on it, and hopefully soon we will have some updates for you.
Please note, there is no need to send us private messages, you are all on the same boat, and we are taking care of all of you together.
Canadian Backers
With our Canadian backers as well, we are aware of the delays and are working 24/7 to resolve it. Your packages are currently in the hands of Post NL, in Canada, waiting to be transferred to Canada Post. Once your GoCubes have left our fulfillment center and reached Canada, our hands are tied. Having said that, we are doing our best to rush things up, and will keep you posted with every new detail that we get.
With you guys as well, please avoid sending us private messages (specifically regarding delays), as we take care of the whole boat and its passengers :)
Technical and Operational Support
Please keep sending us your questions/suggestions/concerns to- [email protected].
And in case you need a quick answer try our GoCubePedia, always available for you Here.
