Hubbub name change

CHICAGO—Hubbub, manufacturer of the Ruckus card game and the Hubbub board game, has changed its name to Funstreet, Inc., effective
January 1, 2006.

Dan Levy will continue as president of Funstreet Inc., and both the Ruckus card game and Hubbub board game will be available under the Funstreet name. In addition, Funstreet has two new family game products lined up for release in 2006.

“As time passed, we began to feel we wanted a company name that was separate and distinct from any of our products,” says Levy. “Given that Hubbub board game has proven its staying power, we decided it was time to exchange the Hubbub, Inc. name for one that’s more distinctive and better reflects our company spirit—hence, the birth of Funstreet. We’ve also timed it to tie in with our January first office move to new and larger digs.”
