30 YEARS OF
Addictively Fun Games that Sharpen Your Mind!
We came to market back in 1985, green but with loads of ambition and energy. Our dream was to turn the brilliant ideas of the craziest mathematicians, engineers and inventors into toys that would inspire thinking in children around the world. Truth be told, we've never strayed from that mission. MILESTONES From launching our very first product (the Hexidecimal puzzle, 1985) out of our basement, to introducing our first single player game (Rush Hour, 1996), to earning Microsoft Small Business of the Year (1997), to innovating a new way to play Bingo (Zingo, 2002) and to eventually changing our old name—Binary Arts—to something that better defines us, we’ve always stayed true to our dreams. And here we are in 2015 with what we think is our best product line yet!
S.T.E.A.M. IS HOT We’re thrilled to see so much excitement around products for kids that support skills in Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Math because that’s what we’re all about. This year, as supporters and innovators in the Maker Movement, we’re excited to unveil our new Maker Studio construction kits designed to inspire hands-on creativity with challenges that will have kids thinking like little engineers. Three maker products will encourage kids to experiment, build and explore scientific concepts using gears, propellers and winches.
ICONIC BRANDS Not everything should be brand new; we're finally launching a two-player Rush Hour for all those Rush Hour fanatics who have been waiting for a head to head experience. We’ve got Laser Maze Jr. so the younger kids can get in on the beam-bending brain exercise. And for classic puzzle lovers, there’s a great Houdini Escape brainteaser. So, thank you to all our customers and Toy Industry comrades. It's been a long road to get to where we are today. And if there’s one thing we know for sure, it’s that we couldn’t have done it without your help.
Best Wishes,
Andrea, Bill, and the ThinkFun Team
