Portland Puzzle Exchange Free Monthly Events

Do you love puzzles? Portland Puzzle Exchange hosts monthly events for you to meet fellow puzzle enthusiasts, swap ones you’ve finished and pick up new-to-you puzzles. Here’s the monthly event schedule. 

Started in 2006, the group built a place to trade completed puzzles with friends. It has now grown into two monthly events for puzzle lovers to swap and meet up. 

Here’s how you can join the fun this year: 

Portland Puzzle Exchange Free Monthly Events

While the puzzle exchanges are informal, organizers provide a safe space for fellow puzzlers to come together and stock up on new puzzles. Bring along any completed puzzles you have that are looking for a new home. 

How Trading Works

Bring puzzles you’ve completed and exchange them for others. Once you’ve completed a puzzle, bring it back and exchange it again.

For first-time puzzles, the front table hosts will check them in. Returning puzzles can be dropped off directly onto any of the trading tables. 

Organizers ask that puzzles missing pieces be donated or recycled.
