Product Description
ShengShou Teraminx – Affordable 7-Layer Megaminx Challenge
The ShengShou Teraminx is a 7-layer megaminx puzzle, often considered the dodecahedral equivalent of a 7x7 cube.
The ShengShou Teraminx is one of the most accessible ways to experience one of the largest mass-produced dodecahedron puzzles available. As a 7-layer megaminx, it dramatically increases the complexity of the standard megaminx and gigaminx, creating extremely long and satisfying solves.
The teraminx belongs to the same puzzle family as the megaminx and gigaminx, but with seven layers per face, making it the dodecahedral equivalent of a 7x7 cube. This dramatically increases the number of pieces and difficulty compared to smaller puzzles.
This modern ShengShou design improves stability and turning compared to earlier large minx puzzles, while keeping the price surprisingly affordable.
🔍 What Is a Teraminx?
A teraminx is a higher-order megaminx puzzle with seven layers per face. Like the gigaminx is the 5-layer version of the megaminx, the teraminx adds two additional layers, greatly increasing the number of pieces and solving difficulty.
- 7 layers per face
- 12 faces (dodecahedron shape)
- Hundreds of pieces
- Extremely long and complex solves
Solving a teraminx typically involves methods similar to solving a 7x7 cube: solving centres first, pairing edges, and finishing like a megaminx.
⚙️ Performance & Turning
The ShengShou Teraminx is designed to make such a large puzzle manageable. Despite its enormous size and complexity, it offers smooth turning and good stability.
- Smooth turning straight out of the box
- Stable piece design
- Bright stickerless plastic
- Excellent value compared to other teraminxes
While it does not include magnets, it remains a solid and reliable choice for anyone attempting their first teraminx.

Returns Policy
Returns
If the item is faulty:
If you find a fault with the product within 30 days that significantly restricts your ability to use it you may request to return it for fixing or a replacement if fixing is not possible. Once you have provided reasonable evidence that the product is faulty and cannot easily be fixed then you can return it to 90 Culley Court, Peterborough, PE2 6WA
I will then attempt to fix it myself, usually I will be able to easily fix it and can then send it back to you quickly, if I am unable to fix it then I can offer a replacement of the product or a refund or similar product if the item is no longer in stock.
Please note that if a cube pops, this is not a reasonable justification for a return, all good cubes have the potential to pop occasionally, if it happens frequently you should consider tightening the tensions or turning more smoothly. Learning to fix popped cubes is an important part of your growth and development as a cuber, it is a very useful skill to develop, I have some tutorials on fixing pops on my youtube channel and there are obviously many more online.
