🧩 PIECING TOGETHER THE PERFECT NIGHT! 🍁

Our 2nd ever Puzzle Race this past Thursday was an absolute blast! We had 7 incredible teams come together for an evening of fall puzzling, delicious treats, and great conversation.

The competition was fierce, but a huge congratulations to our returning champions, who put together their 500-piece puzzle in an incredible 1 hour and 7 minutes! Right on their heels, our 2nd place team finished less than 5 minutes behind the winners. Brilliant job!

A massive thank you to:
• Pam and Joe Angstman for providing the amazing appetizers 🥂
• Old Fire Liquor for keeping the drinks flowing and bartending for the night 🍹
• City Of Buffalo Center for use of the space.
• All 7 teams who came out and made the evening so much fun! And those who came to support and cheer our teams on!

Want to join in on the fun next time? 🧩
Keep your eyes peeled for our next Puzzle Race happening in late January. Start practicing those edges now!
