2022 Puzzle Parley -- Sturbridge Massachusetts
2022 will be our 16th biennial gathering of hand and laser-cut jigsaw puzzle designers, cutters, collectors, restorers, and enthusiasts. We will have some old favorites, like the Pagey Elliott Puzzle Exchange, a Cutters' Roundtable on the latest technologies and tips for making puzzles, and presentations from puzzle historians, collectors, and other cutters. We'll even have a puzzle speed contest to test your cunning on a brand new puzzle donated by Artifact Puzzles! We have had numerous requests from people around the globe to share some Live content and we are excited to share some fun spotlights with you, although if you can attend you will have 110% more fun, and we can't wait to meet you there!
Have a magnificent puzzle that you would like to share? Sign up for the Show-n-Tell section in your registration! We are happily accepting volunteers for all aspects of the Puzzle Parley event, you can sign up with the link below.
