Puzzle Mania!

Dog-Eared Books is excited to be hosting Puzzle Mania!, a NYT Games puzzle competition. Teams of up to 4 will be competing to see who is the ultimate puzzler by completing a selection of different NYT games.
Each ticket provides admittance for 1 team of up to 4 puzzlers. Included in the ticket is 1 copy of Puzzle Mania! to play out of. (Unfortunately, you cannot substitute a copy of Puzzle Mania! that you have already purchased.)
At the end of the night, the team that has accumulated the most points will be crowned the winner. The top 3 teams will receive prizes.
Following the puzzle section of the evening, there will be a Q&A with the game master about her experience working as a NYT Games editor.
