Puzzles & Pinot
Sunday, October 11, 2026 | Best Friends, Albany
What a beautiful Sunday at Best Friends! We love our nights at the breweries but there's something nice about doing puzzles in natural light. Best Friends' location on the corner of Solano and San Pablo, along with those big beautiful windows, allow us to puzzle by the light of the sun! It's a very different vibe and a perfect one for a Sunday afternoon. Perhaps the second best place to be on a Sunday afternoon would be along the harbor. So, our puzzles took us there! The theme was Massachusetts Harbors.
Pairs took on Galison: Harbor by the Sea
Teams completed: Boardwalk Puzzle Company: Marblehead
Jigs and Juice was back at the table and conquered the pairs puzzle in a speedy 21:02, followed a minute and a half later by Team Hercules. Everyone finished in under an hour. Nice work, Pairs!
The Teams puzzle was a challenge with lots of repeating colors but Piece and Quite crushed it in 34:23. Gay Frogs were right behind them them at 35:42. The other two teams were competing with only three members each.
We also filled up the casual puzzling corner with so many fun fall and Halloween puzzles. Props to the group who did the very challenging round wooden Halloween puzzle! And nice job those of you who I saw take out and complete multiple puzzle while you were there!
