The end of the year often means gatherings of family and friends, which can include guests of all ages. As an extrovert, these occasions fill me with delight, but the more introverted among us may not feel the same way. One such friend told me that gatherings are sometimes easier if there is a structured activity. Obviously, a meal fills this bill, but games and activities can lend some structure as well.
Kansas City Puzzle Company’s locally themed puzzles are the perfect activity for most ages. Bright and colorful, these puzzles feature Kansas City favorites, such as a dense, comprehensive map of the metro, local brewery favorites, a charming Charlie Podrebarac print, and my favorite, a collection of matchbook covers from some iconic Kansas City locations, including The Ship, Jasper’s, Harpo’s and Putsch’s Cafeteria.
If nothing else, it may distract your guests from the dog hair under the buffet, your offspring’s too heavy eyeliner, or any need to discuss politics. Perhaps Kansas City Puzzle Company’s tag line should be, “Holding families together piece by piece.”
