MindCube Challenge
Spatial Question Answering from Limited Multi-View Observations
š¢
MindCube Test Set is now released!
The held-out test set is available for download here:
MindCube Challenge Test Set.
Heads-up: The Test Phase on EvalAI is currently experiencing an issue. We are actively
working with the EvalAI team to fix it. In the meantime, you can already download the test set and
run your results locally ā we will notify everyone (via the
Challenge Slack)
as soon as submissions are open.
We are organizing the MindCube Challenge, a spatial question answering benchmark designed to evaluate spatial mental modeling from limited multi-view observations. Participants will be ranked by accuracy on a held-out test set.
Challenge Overview
Goal
Given a multi-view observation and a question, predict the correct answer for each example.
What You Do
- Train / fine-tune on the MindCube training set.
- Develop and validate on
MindCube_tinybench. - Run inference on the held-out test set (now released) and submit predictions.

Released Evaluation
- Metric: Accuracy (exact match) on the held-out test set.
- Ranking: Teams are ranked by overall accuracy.
- (Optional) We may additionally report accuracy by setting/sub-category for analysis.
- Tie-break: Higher accuracy on a specific subset, then earlier submission time.

Submission
Submission File Format (JSONL)
Submit a single .jsonl file with one JSON object per line, containing:
id (string) ā the question ID from the test set answer (string) ā the predicted option letter (e.g., "A", "B", "C", "D")
Example submission format
{"id": "among_group693_q1_5_2", "answer": "C"}
{"id": "around_group012_q3_1_0", "answer": "A"}
Requirements
- Provide exactly one prediction for each
id in the test set. - Duplicate IDs: Keep last / invalid submission
- Missing IDs: Count as incorrect / invalid submission
How to Submit
2 Generate your predictions.jsonl following the required format.
3 Name the file as: TeamName_MethodName.jsonl
Submission Limit: Up to 5 submissions per day, 100 submissions total per team across the challenge
Dev Phase Deadline: May 22, 2026 (AoE)
Test Phase Deadline: May 25, 2026 (AoE)
Results Announcement: May 31, 2026
