The Griddle

National Puzzle Day

National Puzzle Day is celebrated each year on January 29th. It's not an official national holiday, but The Griddle tries to celebrate it each year by giving away some nice stuff, telling people on Facebook, and by posting a ton of nice free puzzles to solve!

Celebration Ideas!

Not sure what to do for the day? You could celebrate by challenging your friends to sudoku solving time trials, print out some of my free puzzles to use in classes as handouts, get puzzle game iPhone apps, enter puzzle solving contests, and more!
