Regina Twist 'N Treat 2025

Jonathan Petry delivered the standout performance of the weekend by capturing the 3x3x3 Cube title with a decisive 8.99 winning average and a best single of 8.83. Held on October 18, 2025, in Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada, the event brought together 35 competitors at the Rosewood Park Alliance Church. Across nine intense rounds and six events, speedcubing enthusiasts gathered to test their skills and push their personal limits on the official World Cube Association stage.

While the international calendar often demands severe mental and physical endurance for the big cubes such as 5x5, 6x6, and 7x7, the schedule at Regina Twist 'N Treat 2025 shifted the focus toward precision, agility, and rapid pattern recognition. The absence of marathon big cubes meant competitors could channel all their energy into shorter, sharper formats, where every tenth of a second carries massive weight and complete focus is required from start to finish.

The 3x3 results served as the centerpiece of this WCA competition, drawing the full field of 35 competitors through two stages of competition. Petry stayed composed through the final round to secure the top step, followed by Grayson Keam who took second with a 9.95 average. Alexander Preece rounded out the podium in third place with a mark of 10.25, ensuring an all-Canadian sweep of the top positions in the traditional Rubik's Cube main event.

Zach Ramer enjoyed a particularly prolific outing at the cubing competition, earning multiple victories across varied formats. In the 2x2x2 Cube, Ramer claimed first place with a 3.10 average and a single of 2.61, closely pursued by Wilmer Daniel Almazan Cabrera at 3.16 and Payton Freitag at 3.50. Ramer then demonstrated his versatility by taking top honours in 3x3x3 One-Handed with a 20.20 average, beating out Vianne Chang and Grayson Keam in a competitive single-round battle.

Beyond the standard formats, the event featured strong displays in specialty disciplines. Wilmer Daniel Almazan Cabrera clinched the Square-1 victory with a 16.80 average and an event-best single of 12.86, finishing ahead of Zach Ramer and Laura Plourde. In Clock, Bryce Miller secured the title with an 8.77 average and a 7.30 single, while Grayson Keam secured the Pyraminx crown with a 4.91 average, just ahead of Ramer and Chang.
