Wrebbit
Encyclopedia : W : WR : WRE : Wrebbit
Wrebbit is a puzzle-making company best known for its Puzz-3D puzzles. The company was founded in Montreal, Quebec by inventor Paul Gallant and markets itself as "The Puzzle Innovators." Its namesake appears to stem from the fact that the company's mascot is a green frog, and "Wrebbit" is either an alternative spelling or possibly a play on words of the word ribbit.
In the late 1990s, 3-dimensional puzzles were a successful fad, leading to rapid growth in the company. In 2001, the business was bought by Irwin Toy. When Irwin Toy filed for bankruptcy a year later, Wrebbit's founder bought back the business and relaunched it in a much reduced state. In 2005, the business was bought by Hasbro, which moved the manufacture of Wrebbit's puzzles to its East Longmeadow, Massachusetts facility in 2006.
