About Bananagrams
Bananagrams is a fast-paced word game that has become a global phenomenon since its launch in 2006, now played by millions of people in over 45 countries and 19 different languages. Invented by the Nathanson family of Rhode Island - spanning three generations led by 75-year-old Abe Nathanson - the game combines the simultaneous play of Boggle with the crossword-building mechanics of Scrabble. Its name comes from Abe's claim that it's 'the anagram game that will drive you bananas!' The game debuted at the 2006 London Toy Fair and quickly became an international sensation. Housed in an iconic fabric banana-shaped pouch, Bananagrams includes 144 lettered tiles that players race to arrange into connecting words in a crossword grid. Unlike traditional word games, there's no board, no turns to wait for, and no complicated scoring - making it perfect for families, parties, and travel. The simple rules and tactile quality of the tiles keep players coming back. At its core, Bananagrams Inc. was a family-owned Rhode Island company dedicated to producing family-friendly games with extraordinary packaging and simple rules. Abe Nathanson remained heavily involved until his passing in 2010, but his legacy lives on through a game that brings families together. The company has since been acquired by Moose Toys, which continues to value the creativity and innovation in play that made Bananagrams successful. UK shoppers can find Bananagrams at toy shops, supermarkets, and online retailers. Various editions include the original game, travel versions, and themed variants.
