Want to Host An Event In Your Community?
We want to host as many events as possible but we can’t be in all counties. We invite you to host competitions, swaps and community events near you, then submit the details to our calendar so we can help you connect with other puzzlers in your area.
The events listed below are not formally affiliated with OHJPA. We can’t guarantee their success and are simply serving as an aggregator. If we are hosting, we’ll label it as such.
