November 2026 A Little Puzzle News

Hello, puzzle friends!

November is here, and Gilded Gecko Social has a full calendar of puzzling ahead!

What started as a simple idea—bringing people together around a puzzle—has turned into something pretty special. I've loved watching strangers become teammates, seeing familiar faces return, and meeting so many people willing to try something new.

Whether you're a seasoned puzzler or haven't touched a jigsaw puzzle in years, there's a place for you at our table.

Everyone can puzzle!

🧩 A Little Reminder About Our Puzzle Swap

Did you know we have an optional Puzzle Swap at our Puzzle Panic events?

Bring a puzzle from home that you've already enjoyed and place it on our swap table when you arrive.

Once your team finishes the competition puzzle, you can choose a different puzzle to take home. The first-place team gets first pick, followed by the other teams in finishing order.

It's a fun way to give your puzzles a new home and discover something different. No pressure to participate!
