Maybe it is new. It is a round Skewb, like Mickey's Challenge, but with different markings. When solved, it has four colored rings on it. The triangular pieces each have about a quarter ring on them. Four of the square pieces have two separate quarter ring markings, and the other two square pieces are blank (actually, they say "Meffert's Challenge"). I think it is fun because in addition to solving the puzzle, you can try to make different "snake" patterns on it. It took me a while to figure out how to make a snake that uses all but one of the segments. I threw away the packaging, and I don't remember who makes it. I think it was Pressman. I bought it at a toy store in the Supermall in Auburn, WA, and they also had a normal Skewb made by the same company. David
