🎉NOW FEATURING SLATE PUZZLE!

We’re the first group to get our hands on Slate’s brand-new metal jigsaw puzzles. The San Diego company launched in December 2025 and we’ll unbox and assemble one of their first releases together.

It's a Sunday special! For the first time, The Puzzle Swap Society, in collaboration with Assemble Puzzlery, is combining a Puzzle Swap with community puzzling! We'll be at a NEW venue: Almanac Brewery's West Oakland Clubhouse at the Prescott Market.

Enjoy Almanac's full drink menu (beer, non-alcoholic, kombucha, soda & more), and grab food from anywhere in the Market (burgers! rice bowls! dumplings! pizza!). There's free parking available. Bring puzzles to swap, then settle in and grab a seat for some social, community puzzling.

This event is ticketed so we can keep the space comfortable for everyone. Join the fun on Sunday, March 1 from 4 to 8pm.

Event Tickets: $10

We're uniting both Oakland & Alameda swaps at a field trip hosted by the Oakland Puzzle Company. You'll get to see them cut a puzzle right in front of you, learn about the materials that go into making a puzzle, and see what it takes to create a jigsaw puzzle from scratch. 

Puzzles from Oakland Puzzle Company will be available for purchase and you can pick up any previously purchased puzzles. Browse the new retail store for gifts, accessories, and more.

We will also have tables set up for swapping any puzzles you bring.

The event runs 10am - 12pm. Puzzle cutting demonstrations will take place at 10:30am and 11:30am.

UPDATE: Event is SOLD OUT but the waitlist is open! Get on the list for tickets here.
