Brian Sumereau couldn't stop smiling as he accepted his grand prize for winning the Invention Dimension Challenge. The 11-year-old beat out thousands of other contestants for his highly original new game, ‘The Puzzler,’ which masterfully combines logic puzzles with board games. As the National Grand Prize winner of ‘Invention Dimension,’ Brian received a $1,000 JAKKS Pacific Prize Pack plus a $1,000 gift card for a shopping spree at Toys“R”Us.

On May 19, 2010, Brian was honored and celebrated for his victory, in a special Grand Prize Award Ceremony at the Toys“R”Us international flagship store in Times Square.

“It’s incredibly exciting to be here in New York City as the Grand Prize Winner of “Invention Dimension!” I really want to thank Toys“R”Us and JAKKS Pacific, and BKFK for this great honor,” said Brian.

As the Grand Prize winner, Brian also had the opportunity to recognize the teacher who was most inspirational in his invention process. The nominated teacher Meryl Wolf, received a $500 JAKKS Pacific School/Classroom Supply pack.

On July 23, 2010, Brian was flown out to the JAKKS Pacific headquarters in Southern California to pitch his game to JAKKS’ product team.
