Doors Open: 6:00 PM
Come see your favorite part of NPR Weekend Edition in person! Learn about the history of puzzles, try to solve some of Will's favorites, and maybe even get called on stage to be in the hot seat. What's an enigmatologist? It's Will Shortz, the world's only academically accredited puzzle master. He designed his own major program at Indiana University, which in 1974 led to his one-of-a-kind degree in Enigmatology, the study of puzzles.
Will has been the puzzle master for NPR's Weekend Edition Sunday since the program's start in 1987, crossword editor of The New York Times since 1993, editor of Games magazine for 15 years, and the founder and director of the American Crossword Puzzle Tournament, which has been held annually since 1978. He also founded the World Puzzle Championship in 1992, and he co-founded the World Puzzle Federation in 1999.
Online processing fees are assessed on a per ticket basis. No refunds or exchanges. Any orders found over the posted ticket limit will be voided without notice.
