Why Hare Publishing Exists
Hare Publishing began with a simple idea: puzzles should be enjoyable—not frustrating.
For decades, puzzles have been part of my daily life. They’ve provided moments of focus during busy days, quiet relaxation after work, and the satisfaction that comes from solving something thoughtfully designed.
After retiring from public service, I decided to combine my lifelong love of puzzles with more than thirty years of technical and creative experience to build something of my own.
Today, every puzzle published by Hare Publishing reflects that same philosophy: clear, fair, enjoyable challenges designed to leave solvers feeling satisfied—not overwhelmed.
