GETTING STARTED QUICK!
Quick Play:
We have provided the following Quick Play instructions for
those players who want to play LIGHTS OUT CUBE right

press a lit or unlit button, it not only changes that button,
but also the adjacent buttons! You must try to turn the
lights out in the minimum number of moves!
Game:
The Lights Out Cube plays very much like our classic Lights
Out game. It contains three different game play modes, but
for purposes of the Quick Start game play, we will begin
with Mode 1, Puzzle 1! Your game contains an On/Off/Reset
button, a Start button (top-left), a Sound button (top right),
a Help Button (lower right) a Puzzle Button (center) and a
Game Button (lower left). All of these button functions can
be found on FACE 1 of your Lights Out Cube. We'll talk
more about each one of these buttons/functions a bit later.
How to Play:
Press the "On/Off/Reset" Button - to turn on the Cube. You'll
see a quick "startup" sequence, and can now choose one of
the following functions (while in this STARTUP mode):
START

START button, all 54 of the puzzle buttons are

puzzles and not for making further selections.
GAME

modes.

After pressing this button, you are allowed to
select the puzzle you want by using one of the 54
puzzle buttons on the Cube.
SOUND - To toggle the sound: on/off (can only be used
before startings the game).
