It's Quite Puzzling
Details
I bought a jigsaw puzzle. Here's the plan. We show up, we dump 1,000 pieces on a table, and we start hunting for edges. That's it. That's the whole plan.
But here's what actually happens at a puzzle table. Nobody's staring at their phone. Nobody's performing. You're just sitting there, turning a piece over in your hand, half-listening to the person next to you and somewhere around piece 200 you realize how comfortable you are just being out with people. Doing something. Working on a joint something together.
All ages. Bring a kid, bring a grandparent, bring yourself. If you've never done a 1,000-piece puzzle, you'll discover it's not so intimidating when you're collaborating.
Worst case: We finish half a puzzle, have a beer, and go home.
Best case: We finish it, take a celebratory group photo, and made new friends.
Either way I'm calling it a win.
Show up. Sit down. Find some edges.
