Shane McCormack: Shane comes to us from Boston University where he got his degree in Biomedical Engineering and Computer Engineering. He once ran the weekly board game club at for the PhD lab folks and is an avid board game lover. His favorites include Dungeons & Dragons, Avalon, and Spirit Island. Aside from helping customers find the perfect board game to add to their collection, Shane is hard at work getting our new website up and running by the end of summer.

Sarah has returned to Eureka and taken over as principal buyer for the store. She works hard to keep the store looking fresh and exciting to customers of all ages. Sarah welcomes feedback on product, customer service, and store organization.

Maya Leschinsky: Maya is a senior at Muhlenberg college of liberal arts. Each summer Maya adds to her collection of constructed models from our Metal Earth, CDX Blocks, and U-gears lines. We consider her an expert on all of our models. You can see her work on display lower in this newsletter! 

Terrence Kelleher: A jack of all trades, Terrence arrived to us after graduating from Bridgewater State University with a degree in Pure Mathematics. As a licensed k-12 teacher, local musician (seen at the “world famous” Cantab Lounge every Thursday night),  and game lover, Terrence finds himself an asset to each phase of our business and his presence is a welcome one (which is weird to say as he types these bio's).

Sophia Silveira: An energetic young artist, Sophia has been a trusted retail employee for the last 2 years. She arrives at Eureka with a passion for puzzles both mechanical and jigsaw and will be able to make excellent recommendations for your next puzzle journey.

Some of the merchandise here will help you understand how things work, from tiny items that you need a microscope to see to games about politics or history which can provide extraordinary insights.  We have items that will confound you, perplex you, delight you, and some which, even when you see them, you are not sure can exist! 

We have over 1000 jigsaw puzzles, over 1000 mechanical puzzles, 1500 games, 1000 puzzle books of all types, and about 500 items directly related to Science.   

Our games span ages and game genres.   We have an extensive collection of Euro Games (such as Settlers of Catan and Carcassonne),   Abstract strategy games (such as Chess, Go, or Blokus), children's games (such as Rat-tat-cat or Zimbos) and many family and group games.

We host regular game nights where we teach the latest games on the market, operate a game camp during school vacations, and even bring our games and puzzles to you with our On the Spot service. 

We pride ourselves on helping customers find the right items to fit their needs. We are happy to help either over the phone (617-738-7352) or in person.
