Swap tables. Switch puzzles. Meet new friends. 

Looking to connect with fellow community members but hate awkward small talk? Welcome to Puzzical Chairs, a unique, zero-pressure social event designed to help you meet new people over a shared love of puzzles. Think of it like musical chairs, but way more relaxed and with absolutely no running for the last seat!

Event Schedule

2:30-4:30pm: The Puzzical Chairs Rotation Game (Registration Required)

2-6pm: Free Community Play & Puzzle Swap (Open to the Public)

How the Main Game Works (Your Ticket Includes This!)

The Setup: You’ll be randomly assigned to a table with three other players and a mystery 500-piece puzzle.

The Shuffle: Every 20 minutes, you will switch tables - and puzzles! You’ll grab your drink, follow your personalized schedule card, and rotate to a brand-new table with a brand-new puzzle and three different people.

The Perks: Your ticket automatically enters you into our mid-game raffles, where we’ll be giving away venue drink tickets and brand-new puzzles!

Free Puzzle Swap & Free Play

Stick around after the game to join in on some community puzzling fun:

Bring a Puzzle, Take a Puzzle: Bring a gently used puzzle from home you no longer want and trade it at our swap table.

Unstructured Mingle: Hang out, finish your drinks, and team up with anyone in the room to help complete the event's puzzles or other selections from our puzzle library.
