The Cube
A real-time collaborative artwork. Build, change, destroy.
About
The Cube is a live, collaborative 3D artwork: one giant cube, six faces, thousands of parcels where anyone can build with voxel blocks — and where anyone can also reshape or tear down what others made. Nothing here is permanent by design: the cube is a shared, ever-changing canvas, not a museum.
Blocks are placed using credits. Watching the cube is free, no account needed; building requires an account so your creations can be attributed to you.

Privacy policy
We collect the minimum needed to run the game (GDPR — Regulation (EU) 2016/679):
AccountYour email address and a hashed password, managed by Supabase (EU-hosted project). Used to sign you in and attribute your blocks. Kept until you delete your account.
GameplayThe blocks you place or destroy (position, colour, time) are linked to your account and kept as part of the artwork's history.
IP addressProcessed transiently for rate limiting and anti-abuse (bans). Not used for advertising.
PaymentsHandled by Stripe; we never see or store your card details. We keep the purchase record (amount, credits, date) for legal accounting duties.
Storage on your deviceFunctional storage includes your session token, keyboard layout, custom colours and analytics consent choice. Google Analytics 4 may set first-party analytics cookies only if you accept audience measurement. We do not use advertising cookies.
Audience measurementWe use Google Analytics 4 with Google Consent Mode. Before consent, analytics storage is denied by default; Google may receive cookieless measurement pings. If you accept, analytics storage is granted. Advertising storage, ad user data and ad personalization stay denied.

Terms of use
The gameCredits let you place blocks (1 credit per block) or remove blocks placed by others (1 credit). Removing your own block refunds its credit. Anyone can destroy anyone's blocks — impermanence is the game. Buying credits buys the act of placing, never the permanence of what you build.
CreditsCredits are a virtual currency with no monetary value. They cannot be exchanged, transferred or refunded once delivered — by purchasing, you expressly request immediate delivery and waive the EU 14-day withdrawal right for digital content (art. L221-28, Code de la consommation).
Acceptable useNo illegal, hateful, or sexually explicit constructions ; no harassment, no spam, no bots or automated play. Reserved (branded) parcels cannot be edited.
ModerationWe may remove any construction and suspend or ban any account or IP address that breaks these rules. Banning an account removes all of its blocks, without refund. Moderation decisions can be contested at contact@thecube.builders.
LiabilityThe Cube is provided “as is”, as a live experiment: we do not guarantee availability or the persistence of any construction. To the extent permitted by law, our liability is limited to the amount of your purchases over the last 12 months.
LawThese terms are governed by French law. Any dispute falls to the competent French courts, without prejudice to mandatory consumer protections in your country of residence.
