Puzzle Warhouse - Puzzle Palooza

On July 13, 2024, Puzzle Warehouse hosted its inaugural speed puzzling event, Puzzle Palooza 2024. The event took place in our warehouse's shipping and receiving area, featuring 16 tables set up for contestants. We welcomed 32 individual participants and 16 teams of 4, with all spots filled for a fantastic turnout. Puzzlers from St. Louis and neighboring states joined us for an exciting day of competition.

We're super grateful to our generous sponsors and all our volunteers. A special thank you to David Hart from Hart Puzzles who came and helped out the entire day!
