History
GANCUBE was founded by Jiang Ganyuan in 2014, under the original name of Gans Puzzle. Jiang was the first official Chinese national record holder after winning a competition in 2008.

In 2014, GANCUBE released the GAN357, which marked the beginning of several years of using a three-digit numbering scheme for the names of their puzzles. At that time, it was popular for people to modify the puzzle by putting cotton balls inside as a way of making it quieter. However, in later years GANCUBE would release quieter cubes.

The next year in 2015, GANCUBE would go on to release the GAN356, which was the first release under the 356 series, which would grow to be widely popular. It introduced screws in each piece. It became well-known among the cubing community as it had very good corner cutting compared with other cubes one the market at the time. Its release was shortly followed by the release of the GAN356S, its successor, which Feliks Zemdegs used to break the average of 5 world record at the time.
