<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="History">History</h2></div>

<p>Puzz 3D puzzles, invented by <a href="Paul_Gallant" title="Paul Gallant">Paul Gallant</a>, were first made in 1991 under the Quebec-based company <a href="Wrebbit" title="Wrebbit">Wrebbit</a>. Throughout the 1990s, three-dimensional puzzles were made, leading to a rapid growth in the company.

</p><p>In 1993, <a href="Hasbro" title="Hasbro">Hasbro</a>'s <a href="Milton_Bradley_Company" title="Milton Bradley Company">Milton Bradley Company</a> bought Wrebbit's Puzz 3D Line, and in 2005 Hasbro themselves completely bought Wrebbit. In 2006, Hasbro moved the manufacture of Wrebbit's puzzles to its <a href="East_Longmeadow%2C_Massachusetts" title="East Longmeadow, Massachusetts">East Longmeadow, Massachusetts</a> facility.<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

</p><p>The last series made under Hasbro was <i>Towers Made to Scale</i>. The series consisted of 13 skyscrapers from around the world. including the <a href="Petronas_Towers" title="Petronas Towers">Petronas Towers</a>, <a href="Sears_Tower" class="mw-redirect" title="Sears Tower">Sears Tower</a>, <a href="Empire_State_Building" title="Empire State Building">Empire State Building</a>, <a href="Chrysler_Building" title="Chrysler Building">Chrysler Building</a>, <a href="Citigroup_Center" title="Citigroup Center">Citigroup Center</a>, <a href="Taipei_101" title="Taipei 101">Taipei 101</a>, and the <a href="John_Hancock_Center" title="John Hancock Center">John Hancock Center</a>, among others. All of the structures were made to be at 1:585 scale, and all of the towers glowed in the dark.

</p><p>By 2006, all of the Puzz 3D puzzles had been discontinued, but in 2011, the Puzz 3D line was revitalized by Winning Solutions, Inc. Winning Solutions first released the Eiffel Tower and Empire State Building, and released a model of <a href="Anif_Palace" title="Anif Palace">Anif Palace</a> in 2012.<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> As of 2014, Hasbro has brought some of the old Puzz 3D line back into production (made in China) in the same boxes. A separate company Wrebbit3D, making new products along with some of the old line, has been created by some of the old Wrebbit staff.<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
