jibaz Story
passionate about entertainment
Once upon a time, there was a man named Mohammad Mahdi Ranjbar who was passionate about entertainment. He had been working in the entertainment industry for 25 years and had experience in entertainment design, equipment manufacturing, operation, supervision, and consulting.
Mohammad Mahdi Ranjbar started his career designing crossword puzzles and other entertainment for magazines, but he soon grew dissatisfied with the traditional approach to entertainment.
He wanted to introduce new concepts and make entertainment a two-way model. He did this successfully with pieces like humorous items in Jame-Jam newspaper, which led to him receiving letters from readers with innovative ideas for comedy contests, even before email technology was widely available.
Professional
Sudoku & Kidoku
festivals
Mohammad Mahdi Ranjbar continued to revolutionize entertainment by organizing various competitions to challenge people’s logical skills. He was the secretary of Iran’s first and largest Sudoku festival that had 60,000 participants and organized four Kidoku festival for children under 12 years old with approximately 4,000 participants.
He was pleased to contribute to their cognitive development and continued to create logical competitions like Battleships in the Khorasan newspaper, which attracted 12,000 participants and had a level of difficulty comparable to international Sudoku competitions and the World Puzzle Federation.
mobility, teamwork & electromechanical!
Mohammad Mahdi Ranjbar also authored and published three volumes of books for children and two volumes of books for adults in the field of entertainment.
Additionally, in the 20th Iranian Press Festival, he served as the secretary of the entertainment committee and was the chief judge to determine the best entertainment in the press. The annual awards of this event are given in the presence of the president.
He designed and supervised the construction of field games and entertainment in cultural centers in Tehran, produced successful board games, and participated in TV competitions. However, he found that amusement parks were promoting “immobility” and “individualism” instead of true entertainment. So, he created a device called “Family Football” that promoted “mobility” and “teamwork” by combining digital and electromechanical attractions to create a new game.
Although “Family Football” was successful, it was too large, immovable, and expensive to reproduce. So, Mohammad Mahdi Ranjbar investigated traditional games in some countries that could be made with wood, metal, and cloth without requiring electricity or batteries. He designed and produced new devices that were smaller, beautiful in design and material, and durable for long-term use. These devices had simple rules, were exciting for both individual and group use, and required no literacy or special knowledge to enjoy. Additionally, the devices allowed for record-keeping and comparison with others to encourage professionalism and could be rented or sold for profit.
more beautiful, efficient &
cost-effective
He felt that in the field of entertainment, he needed to make other devices that were portable and cost less. So it was started again to produce another generation of devices that do not need electricity and batteries.
The first devices were made of melamine MDF with medium design, and they opened an entertainment center called “Bazikhane” in Tehran’s Book Garden.
Due to COVID-19 restrictions, the center was unable to be introduced to fans and was eventually closed. However, they received an order of 120 Bazikhane machines from the Tehran Municipality, and they redesigned the devices with 3D technology to make them more beautiful, efficient, and cost-effective.
They also introduced a new brand name, “JIBAZ” which means “playing with energy” in Persian ( ژیباز ).
The JIBAZ devices are made of wood-coated MDF, and they can produce them with rubber wood (finger joint) or solid wood as well.
Today, Mohammad Mahdi Ranjbar and his team at JIBAZ are committed to creating fun and engaging entertainment devices that promote teamwork, mobility, and energy. They strive to create new and innovative devices that are beautiful in design and durable for long-term use. JIBAZ aims to be the go-to brand for quality entertainment devices that bring people together and encourage professionalism.
