About this Event
Do you love doing puzzles but not sure what to do after you finish one? Do you now have a bunch of puzzles and don't know what to do with them? The Boston Puzzle Swap is here to the rescue!
Swap your puzzles with other fellow puzzlers and pick up some fresh designs to tackle next! We will also run a Puzzle Raffle at the end of the Swap! All participants receive a 10% discount for shopping at Craft Loft on the day of the Swap!
Here are simple steps for how the Puzzle Swap will work, with a goal of keeping it fun and fair:
- Drop off your puzzle(s) at Craft Loft. Please put loose puzzle pieces in a ziploc bag inside the box. Bring puzzles that you know are complete, in good condition and have at least 500pcs. All puzzles must be dropped off at least 1 day prior to the Swap so as to give our staff time to organize and display them. We will not be taking any puzzles on the day of the Swap.
- Come on the day of the Puzzle Swap, pick up your Swap Tickets and preview puzzles. (1 Swap Ticket = 500 puzzle pieces) For example, if you dropped off 2 x 500pc puzzles, you'll get 2 tickets. If you dropped off 1 x 500pc puzzle and 1 x 1000pc puzzle, you will get 3 tickets.
- When the Swap Time starts, pick up whatever you like for the number of tickets you have (1 ticket = 500 puzzle pieces). When you leave the swap space with your new puzzles, simply show your tickets to a staff and check out. Any remaining puzzles at the end of the day will be donated. Keep your tickets to match Raffle results!
To help cover the logistics of the event, we will be charging a small fee of $5 (per person) to participate in the Puzzle Swap. You can bring as many puzzles as you like!

Tips and Caveats:
- All puzzles must be dropped off at least 1 day prior to the Swap so as to give our staff time to organize and categorize them. We will not be taking any puzzles on the day of the Swap.
- Please bring your own box or bag to carry puzzles. Otherwise, you can purchase large paper bags at the store for $1ea.
- Craft Loft does not guarantee the completeness of any puzzles
- The Swap will start promptly at noon, but not before. This will give everyone a chance to check-in and preview in an orderly fashion.
- Bring only puzzles that you're ok to part with regardless of what you are able to find at the Swap.
- After you check out from the Swap area, you will not be able to go back in.
- Feel free to bring guests to the Puzzle Swap, but the number of puzzles you can take is still based on the total number of Swap Tickets that you have.
