Who Founded Puzzle Day?

Puzzle Day was founded by Jodi Jill, a professional puzzle maker and lifelong puzzle enthusiast. Her passion for puzzles- and her desire to share that passion with the world - sparked the creation of this annual event over 30 years ago. For Jodi, puzzles are more than just fun hobbies; they are tools for learning, relaxation, and bringing people together. Her vision has turned Puzzle Day into a worldwide celebration that grows bigger and better each year!

Behind the scenes, our team works months in advance to bring you the puzzles, activities, and resources you need to make January 29 unforgettable.  When the big day arrives, it’s all worth it- because the world plays puzzles!
