BEDLAM
CUBE MADNESS!
Press Release 17/01/2005
For Immediate Release: 17 01 06
BEDLAM CUBE MADNESS!
The Bedlam Cube ® – the new puzzle craze sweeping the
nation, was a total sell out at Christmas! After being successful
on the BBC’s ‘Dragons Den’ series in late November;
sales of the Bedlam Cube were been ‘Bedlam itself’
and it completely ran out of stock right across the country! Now
new supplies have arrived and are still fast flying off the shelves
and from the websites that stock it!
The new 3-D puzzle cube is now ready to create Bedlam on a global
scale, as the entrepreneur behind the company is planning to take
it global in 2006.
Danny Bamping, the Devon based entrepreneur who runs The
Bedlam Puzzle Company stated;
“From the response we have had in the UK & Europe over
the last year – its time to let the rest of the world to
have a go! We are looking forward to exhibiting at the Toy Fairs
in London, Germany & New York over the next few weeks. After
we launched exclusively at FAO Schwarz on 5th Ave before Christmas
and completely sold out in 36 hours – I knew there was a
huge market and demand for The Bedlam cube in the US and beyond!
– It’s a true global product and the ultimate personal
challenge for anyone who attempts it!”
“I’m satisfied that I made the right choice in not
taking the Dragons money offered to me on the show; the company
has already repaid a lot of the loan from the bank and is in a
very healthy position and is growing daily.”
The puzzle now is fast earning cult status as ‘harder and
more addictive than any other 3-D puzzle in the world!’
Despite many, many thousands being in circulation already –
so far only 96 people have come forward and claimed to have solved
the cube, which has exactly 19,186 different correct solutions.
The 3-D Puzzle cube is claimed to be educational and can help
improve people’s spatial awareness and hand-eye co-ordination.
Some schools have now introduced the Bedlam cube into the classroom
as it provides a series of problem solving situations that the
children find both challenging and rewarding. So far the response
has been very positive and some teachers claiming it helps improve
concentration levels.
British Puzzle Genius Bruce Bedlam
“When I invented it, I wanted a puzzle with the best play
value of anything ever before, and one where players compete on
an equal level! – which means anyone can do it!,You often
get so close to solving the Bedlam cube that you just don’t
want to put it down, it’s very addictive and has been compared
to playing an endless game of 3-D Tetris which everyone can play!"

28. Danny Bamping
"Not many pitchers on the Dragons Den manage to secure investment.
Even fewer manage to prise money from the Dragons’ grasp,
only to then turn them down after the cameras have stopped rolling.
But then again, not many entrepreneurs are Danny Bamping. After
persuading Rachel Elnaugh and Theo Paphitis to part with £100,000
to fund his Bedlam Cube, Bamping decided to keep his stake in
the business, while cannily raising the profile of his fiendish
puzzle, by accepting a bank loan instead. Bedlam would be found
in toy store Hamleys; had it not completely sold out at Christmas."
Danny Bamping, Bruce Bedlam and the Bedlam Puzzle Company will
be at the ‘Toy Fair’ in London (Excel, Docklands)
next week – Wednesday 25th Media day!
