Summer 2027 Cohort Membership
Transform summer reading into an immersive 3D gaming adventure! Applications for our highly anticipated Summer 2027 Library Cube Challenge cohort membership are now officially open. Because Library Arcade staff work closely with members during summer programming, membership is strictly limited to a small number of public libraries per state. If your library is looking for an innovative, highly engaging way to gamify your programming and captivate kids, tweens, and teens (ages 9–17), this is your invitation to secure your cohort membership and pioneer the future of summer reading.
Early onboarding begins this fall, ensuring your staff are fully trained and your custom portal is locked in well before the spring rush. Ready to level up your summer reading program? Apply for membership today to bring this exclusive 3D reading-and-gaming experience to your community!
Please fill out the information below to check membership availability for your state and request a quote—if space is still available.
How the Challenge Works
It’s straightforward, immersive, and built to drive circulation and encourage reading.
- The Cubes: There are 5 massive digital Trivia Maze Cubes.
- The Faces: Each Cube has 5 playable maze faces—totaling 25 unique challenges. The sixth (or bottom) nonplayable face serves as the base that holds the Cube.
- The Quest: To clear a single Cube, a patron must “run” all five faces.
- The Catch: To navigate a maze face, the player must use real trivia knowledge from books.
Read to Win: Patrons can choose from hundreds of eligible titles in your collection. Strategy and gaming skills will get them into the maze, but only the details found within the pages of your library’s books will get them out.
