We Care


Hi Puzzlers
It occurred to me while cleaning out my basement for the hundredth time how happy I am to work for a company that uses recycled paperboard in its products. Yes that is correct
White Mountain Puzzles are Earth Friendly Puzzles. Our puzzles are made on recycled paperboard with vegetable based inks.

Not only do our production plants use recycled materials but our staff at the office diligently recycle cans, plastic and of course paper, which accounts for most of our recycling.

We recycle the paper in a few different ways, first by printing on BOTH sides of the page, or by using the “clean side” for notes. Each desk has 2 trash receptacles; one is specifically for recycling paper. Once the bins are full they go off to our dump, which has a recycling center.

Also, Kim our office manager always tries to find us paper products that are made from recycled paper. These products include toilet paper, paper towels and tons of copier paper.

While it is important to recycle paper, it is equally important to buy recycled paper products. It keeps the circle going.

Recycling is an easy way to do your part in saving the planet and I am happy to report White Mountain Puzzles is part of that process.

Licensing International Expo 9 Las Vegas


Hi Puzzlers,

We have had a lot of questions as to where we get ideas for our new puzzles; the Licensing International Expo Show is one of our favorite places.

This years Expo was in Las Vegas, needless to say we were all very excited to go. This being Jill's and my first time in "Vegas" our eyes got sore looking at all the sites and great artwork!

We also got a chance to meet Artist Lori Schory. Lori's artworks truly depict her happy humorous personality. Lori was taking pictures of everything! I wonder if we should be looking forward to a Las Vegas image coming soon?
