AUTHOR: BEC OF 'FOR EVERY HEN' A Rubik's Cube Party is a lot of fun, a great ice-breaker, keeps the event interesting, and will result in so many fantastic photos!

The Aim Of a Rubik's Cube Party
Have each guest arrive in an outfit that resembles an incomplete Rubiks cube (i.e. they are wearing the six different Rubik's cube colors - white, red, blue, orange, green and yellow). The aim during the Rubik's cube party is for guests' to swap articles of clothing until they have 'solved' the cube (i.e. wearing one colour only).
In other words… the aim of this Rubik's Cube game is to leave the party in someone else’s clothes #ohbehave! 
Get Your Swap On
As mentioned above, the aim of the game is for guests to arrive in a 'Rubik's Cube Costume' and swap pieces of clothing until they're wearing one colour only. But there's a little more to it than that...!
RUBIK'S CUBE THEME PARTY RULES Pick one of the following fun Rubik's Cube party theme rules and make your game extra fun. Throughout the event:
THROUGHOUT THE EVENT, GUESTS CAN ONLY SWAP AN ITEM OF CLOTHING...
Before a song finishes playing
The final two dot points are hilarious when guests’ are able to swap clothing items without the bride noticing. Gradually during the party she’ll realize her girls are slowing morphing into whole colours and won’t know when or how it’s happening! NUMEROUS RULES If you don't like the idea of one blanket rule, you also have the option of numerous rules being followed throughout the night. For example, guests are asked to make their way through the following list until they are wearing one colour only. Please note, no rule may be used more than once! You may make a quick swap of 1 clothing item...
Game On!
Up the ante at your celebration by handing out fun prizes throughout the night. You can award winners for one or more of the following categories:
How Will You Play?
When it comes to a Rubik's cube hen party, there are a number of ways to play. And how you decide to include your bride-to-be in the fun is entirely up to you!
OPTION 1 WHITE PARTY Make sure she is the only one to end up in all white (you could make a rule that the bride must get the white item from every single guest!). OPTION 2 MIX & MATCH Ask your hen to arrive in all white, and have guests wear the remaining five cube colours (red, blue, orange, green and yellow). You can then use the 'bride mentioning a particular word' rule outlined above; discreetly swapping clothing items. When she notices what's going on, have her join the fun. The catch? Whilst guests must become one single colour, your hen must become an unfinished cube (leaving the party in all six colours rather than white!). OPTION 3 TRADITIONAL Everyone, including your hen, arrives as an unfinished Rubik's cube and plays the game together. 
Rubik's Cube Party Favors & PrizesCUTE RUBIK'S CUBE GIFT BOXES And last but not least, if you're after something special to put your guests' goodies in, you can't go past Rubik's Cube favour boxes.
These awesome, instant downloads can be printed off at home, put together and filled with delicious treats or gorgeous gifts! Click here to download them now.
FOOD ITEMS Perfect for foodies (like me). Think along the lines of colourful cupcakes, biscuits or lollies. You could even go one step further and decorate square cookies to look like actual Rubik's Cubes, or create a Rubik's Cube cake for the ultimate themed treat (sending slices home as 'favours').
And whilst we're on the topic of food, beeswax wraps are another fantastic option. Coming in a range of fun colours and patterns, they will go perfectly with your bright and bubbly celebration.
LIVING GIFTS Plants flowering in the Rubik's cube colours (white, red, blue, orange, green and yellow) will not only make your event look beautiful, but will also make a lasting gift for your guests (which in turn will become a permanent reminder of the fun they had at your hen do). SHOTS AND/OR MINI ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES Kick off your celebration with some delicious mini drinks or shots. Not only a great ice-breaker (CHEERS everyone!), but also the perfect addition to any goodie bag. HANDY HINT: Put the call out for small glass jars in the lead up to your event (and be sure to save any from your cupboard as well!). You can then fill these with spirits or champagne, decorate as you wish (e.g. with ribbon bows in the Rubik's cube colours) and add to guests' gift bags, ready for the special day.

Rubik's Cube Party Decorations
Thanks to the fun nature of this game, guests' and hen alike will have an amazing time whether your decorations are scarce (i.e. a few bunches of flowers in your theme colours) or elaborate (e.g. themed food, themed drinks - such as assorted coloured shots, flowers, colourful fabric bunting, etc.).
This Rubik's cube game also works perfectly when incorporated into an 80s theme party. Think along the lines of bright colours, fun photo-booth dress ups (from hilarious ball gowns to leg warmers, you'll be sure to find an amazing array of options at your local op shop!), hilarious photo props (DIY Pac Man props, anyone? Or how about famous movie quotes from that era?) and a vintage boom box/cassette tapes (borrowed from family or friends).
If you would prefer to purchase 80s party decorations/products rather than DIY, here are some great items to get you started (click the words to view the products):
HANDY HINT: If you do decide to go ahead with this theme, make sure you have the funkiest 80s music playlist to ever grace a party on hand, and that guests join the fun by turning up in 80s costumes (in the Rubik's Cube colours, of course).
