The Treasure of Hexagon Island is the 1st special episode of Numberblocks, as well as the 1st Learningblocks special overall.

Synopsis[]

Get ready for a special pirate adventure as the Numberblocks set sail in search of treasure. They have to solve Captain Hexbeard's riddles to find it.

Plot[]

The episode begins with the camera zooming from a sky, into One riding a scooter with a magic mirror on an empty plot of land with another magic mirror. One has then reached the spot with the magic mirror, in which as follows, One says “time to make some friends!”. Song starts as One puts the magic mirror next to the other, creating a copy of herself, and soon as they start singing a song about magic mirrors, they create Numberblocks 1-6 in the process.

After the song ends, Two affirms that with two magic mirrors, you can make friends twice as fast. Three attempts to carry the magic mirror, but it’s no use, as it is too tall. Luckily, Four, using his strength, can carry it easily. Three doubts if two mirrors are twice as fast, three mirrors will be even faster, and if they use the first mirror to copy the other, they’ll have three, but Five thought magic mirrors only copied Numberblocks. Three inadvertently placed the magic mirror in front of the other, creating an infinite loop of reflections. After time flies by, the magic mirrors start to break. The Numberblocks stay clear of the mirrors as they start to combine together, forming a big flash as a result.

The magic mirrors fall back to their original places and their cubes come off them. Much to their reaction, Two decides to check if the mirror is still functioning, nothing happened, Four stating that they’re broken, much to the Numberblocks’ shock.

Math Magic[]

  • 1 + 1 = 2
  • 2 + 1 = 3
  • 3 + 1 = 4
  • 4 + 1 = 5
  • 5 + 1 = 6 (segment)
  • 6 + 1 = 5 + 2 (comparing)
  • 4 + 3 = 5 + 2 (comparing
  • 4 + 3 = 6 + 1 (comparing)
  • 2 = 1 + 1
  • 6 = 5 + 1
  • 5 + 2 = 7 (segment)
  • 7 = 5 + 2
  • 5 + 3 = 8 (segment)
  • 2 × 2 × 2 = 8 (mentioned)
  • 8 = 5 + 3
  • 5 + 4 = 9 (segment)
  • 9 = 5 + 4
  • 9 + 1 + 4 = 14 (segment, square puzzles)
  • 1 + 4 = 5 (segment)
  • 2 + 3 = 5 (segment)
  • 5 + 5 = 10 (segment)
  • 10 = 1 + 2 + 3 + 4
  • 21 = 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6

Trivia[]

  • This episode's description used to show that it's a crossover with Alphablocks, but it was later removed.
    • This tweet from the Numberblocks Twitter confirms that it was an error.
    • It would later have a true crossover with the Alphablocks in Making Friends.
  • The One at the start of this episode is presumably the same One at the end of 100 Ways to Leave the Planet.
  • This special and Making Friends are the longest episodes of Numberblocks, being 20 minutes rather than 10 or 5.
  • This episode was put on iPlayer on Friday, a day before it is aired on TV.
  • This is the fourth episode with a unique credits scene. The first three were The Wrong Number, One Thousand and One, and 100 Ways to Leave the Planet.
  • Twenty-One is the only Numberblock in the episode to not be a number from 1-10.
  • Eight only appears as a cube in this episode.
    • This marks the first time where a Numberblock smaller than Twenty-Seven only appears as a 3D shape (with all coordinates being bigger than 1) in an episode.
  • On the YouTube upload of the special, meant for people overseas who want to watch it, the thumbnail unintentionally spoils Captain Hexbeard's true identity being Twenty-One.
  • In reality, Seven rolling across the rotating bridge would NOT keep it balanced.
    • Details: On every point where Seven's body touches the bridge, a downward force with the same magnitude is applied. However, since the average distance to the rotational axis on both sides aren't always equal, the torque applied on both sides wouldn't always cancel out, and when they don't, the bridge will start to rotate.
    • There was technically a way to solve the rotating bridge puzzle without Five's help, and keeping both Ones balancing the bridge. It would have involved stepping backwards for one of the Ones at some point, however, and might have been overall too difficult for Two to come up with.
  • Numberblocks Treasure Hunt, an upcoming app that is based on this episode, is coming sometime in 2024.

Errors[]

  • In the subtitles, in the line "You lend us a hand, now it's your turn to take ours", the word "turn" was missing.
    • Additionally, during the segment where Five helps Three, the subtitles misinterpret the word "yelp" as "yell". This is most likely a mistake as the word "yelp" fits in with the rhyme scheme of "help" and because Eight can be heard saying a "p" sound.
