A set of points \(W\) in Euclidean space is said to realize the finite group \(G\) if the isometry group of \(W\) is isomorphic to \(G\). It is shown that every finite group \(G\) can be realized by a finite subset of some \(\mathbb{R}^n\), with \(n<|G|\). The minimum dimension of a Euclidean space in which \(G\) can be realized is called its isometry dimension. In the paper is discussed the isometry dimension of small groups and offered a number of open questions.
