Soda City Cubing Brings Lexington Area Rubik’s Cube Enthusiasts Together for Learning, Fun and Competition

Lexington, SC 11/10/2026 - What started as a shared interest in solving the Rubik’s Cube has grown into a gathering place for puzzle enthusiasts throughout the Midlands, as Soda City Cubing continues to bring together people of all ages and skill levels who share a passion for cubing.

Soda City Cubing, the Columbia area's only public Rubik's Cube and speedcubing club, provides an opportunity for local enthusiasts to meet, learn new techniques and connect with others who enjoy the challenging and rewarding hobby.

The club organizes casual meetups where beginners, experienced cubers and everyone in between can come together in a welcoming environment. Participants have the opportunity to learn from one another, exchange tips, try out different cubes and take part in a variety of Rubik’s Cube-related activities.

Whether someone is just learning how to solve a cube or can complete one in a matter of seconds, the goal is to create a community where everyone can share their interests, make new friends and improve their skills.

The group recently reached an exciting milestone by organizing its first official World Cube Association (WCA)-sanctioned cubing competition in Lexington at the end of September.

The competition attracted 66 competitors, bringing together cubers to participate in an organized event and put their abilities to the test.

Interest in the competition was even greater than organizers initially anticipated. According to the club's organizer, additional people wanted to register and compete, but limited space at the selected venue prevented more participants from being accommodated.

The strong turnout demonstrates the growing interest in speedcubing and the potential for expanding competitive cubing opportunities throughout the Columbia and Lexington County areas.

Beyond competitions, Soda City Cubing hopes to continue building connections among local cubing enthusiasts and providing opportunities for people to discover the hobby, develop their abilities and enjoy time with others who share similar interests.

Those interested in learning more about the club or meeting other local cubers will have an opportunity to attend an upcoming gathering on Saturday, November 21, 2026.

The meetup will take place from 3 p.m. until 5 p.m. at Richland Library Main in Meeting Room N, located at 1431 Assembly Street in Columbia.

The gathering is an opportunity for newcomers and experienced cubers alike to meet members of the local cubing community, share their knowledge, try different cubes and enjoy activities centered around the popular puzzle.
