Buffalo Games was founded in 1986 as a family-run business. The initial product line consisted of several board games, and one puzzle, referred to as The World's Most Difficult Puzzle. The initial revenue from their product line came from their sales and marketing to bulk mail catalogs and department store gift sections. The company began mass manufacturing of games and puzzles in 1996.
On September 19, 2018, Mason Wells, a Midwest-based private equity firm, along with Nagendra Raina, Chief Executive Officer of Buffalo Games, and other members of the management team, acquired the business from the founders, Paul and Eden Dedrick. Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
