Challenge

Calgary needed a single surface that connected the city's drop-in puzzle community — recreational, competitive, learning, and family groups — without replacing the real-world tables already running.

Insight

Don't build a platform. Build a connective brand that points to what already exists, recruits volunteers, and rallies the city toward a shared annual event.

Answer

A community brand for Calgary’s drop-in puzzle movement.

PuzzleYYC is launching now. Recreational, competitive, learning, and family — four ways into a city-wide puzzle community that connects existing groups rather than replacing them.

MZM Labs designed and built the brand identity, the site, and the volunteer-recruitment surface. The work continues toward the Great Calgary Puzzle Swap.
