In late 2009 four very clever grade 6 school girls from Riverside Primary School submitted an entry for the “Exercise Your Mind Challenge” Competition, run by the Queensland based, Dr. Wood Challenge Centre in conjunction with Inquizitive.

What the girls didn’t know at the time was their clever idea had the makings of a block-buster puzzle! Mind Challenge Ltd, the company behind the Dr Wood brand not only awarded the girls first prize but proceeded to license the puzzle concept for worldwide commercialisation. “Race Around the World” is now being published in 14 languages and marketed in 28 countries around the world.

“Race Around the World” was officially launched to the Toy Industry at the Australian Toy Fair in Melbourne in March to critical acclaim. With only a few weeks in the market, it has already been nominated for this year’s Australian Puzzle of the Year by the Australian Games Association. 

The official launch and presentation of the puzzle is being held at Inquizitive on Saturday 26^th June at 11am, where the four girls will be presented with their puzzle and prizes which they won for being the overall competition winner.

The Dr Wood Challenge Centre CEO, Vishal Mehrotra and General Manager, Ben Pusztai will be flying in from the Gold Coast to present the awards to the girls, along with the Director of Inquizitive, Louise Smith.

If you would like to join in on the celebrations, then drop by the shop. We look forward to seeing you.
