Bar & Bat Mitzvahs
Adding a whole new dimension to your simcha!
There are many different types of Bar Mitzvah and Bat Mitzvah parties. The puzzles will fit nicely into all of them, creating a wonderful atmosphere and involving all of your guests in an amazing hands-on experience! We've put together a few ideas to show you how, but if you would like to be put in touch with families who have used us, or would like a demonstration at your home, don't hesitate to ask!
We have taken a few common party formats to demonstrate what we do, but these are only examples and a puzzle programme will be tailored especially for your event.
"It was outstanding. The atmosphere was amazing. It made the Simcha.
We would recommend The Happy Puzzle Company to anyone."
Jane Henry and Michael Hartman (Michael being the Bar Mitzvan boy), Kingston-Upon-Thames
The Children's Bar/Bat Mitzvah Programme
If your party is just for the Bar/Bat Mitzvah and their friends, we have a wonderful 90 minute challenge programme of team games mixed with some of the world's most unusual puzzles. Many people will choose to hold this type of function at home with a meal either side of the puzzling. It's a huge amount of fun!
Don't worry if the children have been to other puzzle parties. We've plenty of new challenges!
You may also wish us to design an entirely different kind of programme, such as a supper-quiz with a theme. Please ask us for details.
"We wanted something different and The Happy Puzzle Company provided something for everyone. Thoroughly enjoyable entertainment."
Julie Woolf, Borehamwood
Parties with a buffet meal
If the meal at your party is being served as a buffet, the format for the puzzling is slightly different from that which has already been described. The packs of puzzles are give out at the start of the meal so that the people who do not collect their food straight away, can begin solving puzzles, whilst those who finish eating first will begin at that point. The children will be kept entertained at all times when they are not eating. Otherwise, the format is the same as that shown previously.
Puzzle Cakes and Gifts
We have a great range of puzzle gifts for your guests, all of which can be personalised as a memento of the occasion. Prices start around 99p. Please ask us for more details.
We can also design a 'puzzle cake' made entirely from water-block puzzles. Each guest can take home an individual puzzle at the end of the party!
Parties in a hall with a served meal
After the main course is finished, one of our team will give a brief introduction to the guests about the puzzles. Then, each table of adults will receive a pack of two and three-dimensional logic puzzles and challenges. These packs are personalised for your Bar or Bat Mitzvah and brief instructions to all the puzzles are included.
Within the pack there will be more than plenty of puzzles for everyone at the table. Our job is simply to ensure that they are having a good time! Meanwhile, the children's tables are given a wider, age-appropriate range of puzzles. There will normally be several of each puzzle and a separate member of our team will be with these tables ensuring that the children are occupied and are having fun at all times. With everyone in the hall busy puzzling away together, the atmosphere is simply amazing!
The puzzling ends at a pre-determined time - often just before or just after the speeches, Grace after meals, or before the dancing begins. Around ten minutes prior to that, we will offer any remaining solutions that are required. There is no set length of time for the programme, but we suggest somewhere between 45 and 90 minutes. There is also an option of giant team games for the children later in the event. Please ask us for more details.
Finally we have a range of puzzle gifts and mementos to give to your guests, all of which can be personalised. These are shown at the end of this section.
