As always, you are welcome to participate at either (or both) locations and it is okay to pick up puzzles at one location and return them to another.
If you’re new to the group, be sure to read up on the website about how the exchanges work. https://portlandpuzzles.org/how-things-work/

Here are a few things you can do to help keep the puzzles and puzzlers moving smoothly at the check-in tables:
1. NO LOOSE PIECES – Put loose puzzle pieces in a ziploc-style bag inside their box before bringing them to an exchange. Please don’t tape boxes shut.
2. NO MISSING PIECES – Do not bring in puzzles with missing pieces — not even if you put a note on the box and no matter how cool they are.

Putting out another reminder that The Portland Puzzle Exchange is a trading space for puzzlers. Our puzzlers bring in their well-loved puzzles and in-turn take home puzzles that they enjoy and intend to either work or share. The Exchange has worked successfully for many years because of this balance. We had an issue recently where it was noticed that a visitor was taking a lot of puzzles home but never bringing puzzles back. We’re trying to watch for anyone that may be taking advantage of our open trading policies in this way and if we think this is the case, they will be asked to leave and not to return.

Have a safe week and we look forward to seeing you soon!
