Rory’s Story equals imagination and fun cubed

ONE of the most successful Irish toys developed over the past few years is Rory’s Story Cubes, a game of imagination and fun that encourages users to make up a story based on the throw of the dice.

Ryan Tubridy described it as one of his favourites on last year’s Late Late Toy Show and in the past year alone it has won the Best Game in the Toy Shop UK Independent Toy Awards. It has also been nominated in the Game of the Year category of the 2012 Toy of the Year Awards the “Oscars” of the North American toy industry.

Invented by Dubliner Rory O’Connor and developed in partnership with Anita Murphy, from Co Kildare, as a problem-solving tool for business, the game has been in gestation since 2004 and was originally based on the famous Rubik Cube.
