History

MOYU was established as a premium cube brand under the YongJun (YJ) umbrella. While YJ already produced affordable puzzles, MOYU was created as a platform for innovative cube designers to develop higher-performance products intended for serious speedcubers.

The name 魔域 (Móyù) roughly translates to “Magic Realm” or “Magic Region.” In Chinese, Rubik’s Cubes are commonly referred to as Magic Cubes (魔方), making the brand name closely associated with the cubing hobby.

From its earliest releases, MOYU quickly became one of the most respected names in competitive cubing thanks to continuous improvements in cube mechanisms, turning performance, and manufacturing quality. [3]
