Puzzle Swap

Tuesdays, October 6-November 17, 2026

6:00-8:00pm

St. Luke’s Episcopal Church

4011 Major Avenue, Madison, WI

Bring your gently used, swap-worthy puzzles and trade them for a new-to-you favorite! Bring 300-1,000 piece puzzles in good condition the kind you’d happily do again, not the one you’ve been secretly trying to get rid of!

Pieces should be in a Ziplock bag inside the box. Bring as many puzzles as you’d like to trade! Enter through the RED door in the center of the church, then head upstairs (or take the elevator).

Sort. Swap. Score a new puzzle. Repeat!
