INFORMATION

Mind Challenge is an Australian public unlisted company holding the global commercialisation rights for the inventions of Dr Mark T Wood (Psychologist) and Frank Dyksterhuis (Mathematician/Physicist). Between them, the inventors have created a suite of incredible puzzles and games that completely redefine the genre.

The first product that Mind Challenge took to market was The Kaleidoscope Classic. Billed as the challenge that everyone can solve but no one can conquer, The Kaleidoscope Classic is an internationally acclaimed puzzle and game. It won the Puzzle of the Year for 2004 from the Australian Games Association and the Smart Puzzel 2006 from the London Science Museum.

In 2007, The Kaleidoscope Classic was included on the recommended list for the Spiel des Jahres — the European Game of the Year Awards.

In its three years in the market, The Kaleidoscope Classic has rapidly become one of Australia’s best selling puzzles and games. It was the highest across the nation for the year 2006, and has also been the number one seller in India, New Zealand, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom, including at the world’s largest toy store, Hamleys, in London.

Internationally, Mind Challenge has distribution partners in 20 countries including the Netherlands, Belgium, France, Germany, the United Kingdom and many more, and will extend into 152 countries within the next 10 years.

Mind Challenge has just released its 2007 collection of mind challenging puzzles and games. 2008 will see the release of a new line of brain teasers and the launch of several new, unique and exciting inventions. Mind Challenge’s mission is to give to the world a series of intelligently crafted and intellectually stimulating puzzles and games.
