“If you’re puzzling over the perfect team event, David Kwong is the answer. We invited David Kwong to create and lead a puzzle hunt for our first-ever team event, and he delivered! The puzzles were challenging but not impossible and were all designed to be solved with teamwork and creativity. David incorporated elements of storytelling into the puzzle hunt that made the experience more fun and engaging. Everyone left the event feeling smarter and closer as a team. It was truly a unique and memorable experience. Now the only puzzle left to answer is: How do we top this for our next team event?”

“David’s crossword puzzle assembly was the clear highlight for us. Starting with a custom word was fun, and seeing his process with audience interaction was amazing. The hidden messages and callbacks to previous tricks made this experience unlike anything we’ve seen before. His joy of performing and engaging people was on full display in a very authentic way. David did a fantastic job and really helped make our event a success.”
— Christian Smith, Vice President of Product Management and Marketing, Bluberi
“David Kwong hosted our 2023 corporate holiday party. There were 100 of us participating virtually across six countries—needless to say, David had his work cut out for him! He crafted customized puzzles that not only spoke to our line of work but were also accessible to the multiple global cultures that participated. We broke out into small teams, and over the course of the next 90 minutes, groups of people who otherwise don’t usually work together bonded over trying to solve puzzles.
There was definitely healthy competition—we work in sports, so it’s to be expected—but win or lose, the overall feedback we received was that people loved the opportunity to get to know each other in a new environment and had a great time.
David did a fantastic job of not only crafting the puzzle hunt but also choreographing the many moving pieces that day. We can’t wait to welcome him back for future events!”
— Annie Gerhart, COO, Infinite Athlete, Inc.

We are grateful for the perspective he brought to the conversation.”
