Don Rubin, one of the world’s premier creators of games and puzzles, died of cancer at his home in Santa Rosa, California on April 8, 2022. He was 77.

In the late 1980’s his creation “The Real Puzzle” was first published in the Boston Phoenix, then The Real Paper, prior to its syndication in over 300 national and international newspapers and magazines through United Features Syndicate. The Real Puzzle generated so much fan mail that the U.S. Post Office gave Don his own zip code. Don became a mini expert in each field that was the focus of the weekly puzzle and attributed his creativity to a “poor diet and lack of sleep”.
