Alta Gracia will host the Desafío Cubero 2025, an international Rubik's Cube competition.

This weekend, Alta Gracia will host an official Rubik's Cube competition for the first time, the "Desafío Cubero Alta Gracia 2025." The tournament will take place on Saturday, June 7, and Sunday, June 8, at the Cine Teatro Monumental Sierras. Sixty competitors from various regions of the country will participate in an event endorsed by the World Cube Association (WCA).

The competition is organized by the Speedcubing Argentina Association, together with María Laura Fuentes and Matías Ponte. The event will be supervised by the official WCA delegates, Cristian Ezequiel Vega and Matías Ponte himself.

The tournament will feature 10 official categories distributed across 17 rounds. The events include formats such as 2x2, 3x3, 4x4, Pyraminx, and Megaminx, among others.

Participation and access to the event

Registration for competitors opened in May and is now closed. No further registrations will be accepted for organizational reasons, even if spots remain available or there are people on the waiting list.

The public may attend the event freely and at no cost. A large turnout of enthusiasts and curious individuals interested in the world of speedcubing is expected.

The organizers emphasize the importance of punctuality. Participants are advised to arrive at least 15 minutes before each round. In addition, all competitors are required to be familiar with the WCA regulations and to actively collaborate as judges, runners, or scramblers.

Recently, the event was declared of municipal interest by the Alta Gracia City Council. Its educational, cultural, and touristic value was recognized, as well as the efforts of the local residents involved in the organization.

This event is expected to be the first of many in the region, promoting the practice and interest in this discipline. For more information about the competition, the official WCA website can be consulted.
