The purpose of the International Puzzle Party is to provide an annual forum for serious puzzle collectors for the exchange and sale of puzzles, books and related items, as well as for fun and fellowship. In short: puzzling fun for puzzling enthusiasts. International Puzzle Parties have been held almost every year since 1978. IPP's are usually organized in three-year cycles in the USA, the Far East, and Europe.
Attendance at any International Puzzle Party event is by personal invitation only, from the hosting team. This is why the web sites of future IPP's require a password. Please do not advertise future IPP's to people who are not invited; do not even mention the exact locations nor dates.
Web sites of past IPP's may or may not require a password, depending on their webmasters.
These web sites require a password.
You can now share your IPP photos on this web site. Visit either the main gallery page or go straight to the photos from IPP 29. As of January, 2009, the organizers have added some photos of the sights of San Francisco. When the event takes place, you will be able to share your own photos.
For either one, you will need to log in with the same user name and password as for the IPP 29 pages.
We have collected photos of IPP participants who are no longer with us. You can view the entire list or just those who passed away in 2008 or 2007.
To view these photos, you will need to log in with the same user name and password as for the IPP 29 pages.
See above for e-mail links for individual puzzle parties. If you have comments, questions, or suggestions for this site (such as additional links that should be listed above), please free to e-mail the lonely webmaster.
