Awesome little shop with a bunch of super cool puzzles. There are a few puzzles on display that you should come in and try, even if you donβt buy anything. But you should consider buying something, if not for yourself, then for a gift. They also have some cool mystery games to buy and play with friends.

What a fun store! We took my bestie there after we ran an errand close by, just for fun. I ended up walking out with a couple of fantastic fidget toys, and B. got his favorite old puzzle. And I could tell my friend, in from a red state, found the place a reprieve; what?! a store for people who like to use their noggins? Thatβs a thing? It is! And thatβs wonderful.
