Livestreams with GrandmaPuzzles
A lifelong love of jigsaw puzzles becomes an unexpected lifeline for Adele Tiffith — known to more than a million monthly viewers as “GrandmaPuzzles,” who livestreams her calm, methodical puzzling to a devoted Twitch community. Told with a warm, whimsical, Wes Anderson–inflected eye, it is a tender portrait of connection, purpose, and the surprising places we find belonging.

Part of Puzzle People
Puzzle People became a short film series built around one simple reminder: go do a puzzle.
Each story reflects a different experience and shows that puzzling is about more than completing an image. It helps us slow down, support mental health, step away from our screens, and find community.
The project kicked off with Livestreams with GrandmaPuzzles, acquired and distributed by Switchboard Magazine. From there the series continued through a creative distribution partnership with the Hello, Puzzlers! podcast — four additional puzzler stories drawn from across the puzzling community.
And for anyone who loves Adele and wants an update: since appearing in the film she has picked up brand sponsorships, won the Streamer Awards’ ‘Hidden Gem Award’, and is currently a Twitch Ambassador.
