2022 Rubik’s Cube Challenge

UPDATE: AGOURA HILLS GENIUS AWARDS 2022

THE RUBIK’S CUBE CHALLENGE

What an amazing first annual Agoura Hills Genius Award challenge this afternoon at Mae Boyar Park. This year’s challenge was the Rubik’s Cube and we had three division winners, and one grand prize winner — Spencer! Everyone was super competitive and a great sport too.

Our winners were:

Division 1 — Jordan Klein
Division 2 — Spencer Goodman
Division 3 — Ethan Pei
Grand Prize Winner — Spencer Goodman

Our company Levine Realtors hosted and presented this fun and intense event, and there were over 30 teenagers and kids who participated in the challenge.

The fastest solve time was 30 seconds! The grand prize was $1,000, plus we had other event sponsors who’ve donated cool prizes that we gave and raffled off (tagged in the photo).

Event sponsors:

Official event sponsors were: Levine Realtors in Agoura Hills, David Levine Bramante for Agoura Hills City Council, Two Doughs Pizza Company in Agoura Hills, Tifa Chocolate and Gelato in Agoura Hills, Regency Theaters in Agoura Hills, Bowlero in Woodland Hills, Kids World in Oak Park, 101 Escape Rooms in Westlake Village, The Game Ogre in Westlake Village, and Arsenal Comics & Games in Newbury Park.

Thank you everyone that participated! We had a blast and hope to see you next year for the next Agoura Hills Genius Award challenge.

How it started:

I grew up poor, and when my mom couldn’t watch us, we were either studying kenpo karate with sensei Cecil Peoples or playing video games. My brother and I competed in one of the first-ever e-sports games, representing the United States playing ‘The Age of Empires,’ which is a real-time strategy computer game. We got to travel to South Korea to play against kids from other countries, and I won $1,000 for second place and my brother won $3,000 for first place. It was an amazing experience and prize. I have always wanted to launch and host a similar type of event for kids in our area.
