BRAND EXTENSION – RUBIK’S CUBE

Rubik’s Cube – the #1 toy ever created – has boggled and perplexed players for almost 40 years!

Sharpe has taken the inherent play pattern in the colorful cube and successfully extended it into the digital space – from console and handheld games to apps. Continually refreshing the play pattern through new platforms, games and ways to interact has kept the brand relevant and helped to maintain its popularity and place in popular culture.

Sharpe was also responsible for the highly addictive electric toy Rubik’s Revolution, which became the stocking filler ‘de jour’ in 2008 when it first launched.

More recently, Sharpe has capitalized on the revival of the cube, breaking new ground licensing with Rubik’s Cube shower curtains, mats, and a Rubik’s Cube refrigerator!
