Puzzles & Pinot: Mother’s Day Edition

Looking for a way to celebrate Mother’s Day that involves zero juice boxes and a lot of Cabernet? Join us at Best Friends in Albany for a day dedicated to the moms, pet moms, and chosen-moms who love a little friendly competition and a great pour.

This is a 21+ event, so ditch the kids, grab your “mom-friends,” and get ready to piece together some fun. Whether you’re a competitive speed puzzler or just here for the casual vibes and the vino, we have a spot for you at the table.

Casual Puzzling tables and the puzzle swap are free and open 12-4.

Speed Puzzling Schedule (Registration required)

We’re hosting two separate sessions so you can choose your challenge—or double down and play both!

12:00 Pairs

2:00 Teams

The fastest Pair and Team will each win a prize, plus every participant in the speed puzzling sessions will walk away with a special puzzle-themed Mother’s Day gift to take home.

Disclaimer: Please double check event information with the event organizer as events can be canceled, details can change after they are added to our calendar, and errors do occur.


Cost: FREE*
*Casual Puzzling tables are always free! If you would like to compete in the speed puzzling competition please register on our website.
