Be the place that people of all kinds who love puzzles of all kinds can come together to connect, learn, and celebrate the richness that we each bring to the puzzling community.
Or in short...
"All sorts of puzzles for all sorts of people!"
2025 Speakers
Jess & Ray
Jess and Ray are the founders of Good Fortune Puzzle Co. On their journey of reconnecting with play and culture, they noticed as much as they enjoyed puzzling, the brands and images weren't something they felt a deep connection to. With the belief that Asian creativity is worth celebrating, puzzling is underrated and that puzzles can reflect a broader range of experiences, Good Fortune Puzzle Co was born.
Their puzzles are made with premium, sustainable materials and manufactured locally in Canada. Good Fortune Puzzle Co also shares 5% of its revenue with their artists.
Jasen Robillard
Founder, Chief Experience Officer and Puzzle Craftsman at StumpCraft.
I've been an environmental consultant (oil spill remediation), hydrogeology technician, mapping software product specialist and trainer, cohousing consultant, group facilitator and trainer. I'm now the founder, designer and mad puzzle crafter at StumpCraft. I see puzzles as my artful way of trojan horsing attention curation and embodied participaction, to unlock whole brain processing and solutionary thinking.
“When I am working on a problem, I never think about beauty but when I have finished, if the solution is not beautiful, I know it is wrong”
―R. Buckminster Fuller

Putrice Thomas
I began illustrating art for children's puzzles in 2019 and launched Cocoa Puzzles in the summer of 2020. My goal was to create imaginative characters through art that children could identify with and relate to in their everyday lives. By combining my art with puzzles, I aimed to help parents bond with their children and spend meaningful time together, just as I did in my own home.
