About Rube Works
Rube Works is an official Rube Goldberg puzzle game based on his original cartoons. You solve everyday problems by building elaborate, whimsical machines. For example, to pour a glass of juice, you might use a jack-in-the-box, a magnifying glass, string and a friend wielding a cymbal. More creative solutions score better.
Build your solutions
The game includes 18 challenging puzzles. You create contraptions to complete each goal, using the kind of elaborate chain of actions associated with Rube Goldberg’s cartoons.
