We're Kelly Warren and Shaw Morris, aka the Mahj Squad girls! We're Mahjong teachers based in Denver, Colorado. We created Mahj Squad because we love bringing friends together to play this fun game. Reach out to us to schedule a party, private or group lesson. 

Where do you teach? 

Denver and the surrounding areas 🏔️

Where, when and how did you learn mahjong? 

We originally learned from friends and we were instantly hooked!

Tell us why you love Mahjong?

The beauty of the tiles and the excitement of each game had us hooked right away. What we love most is how the game brings people together, offering endless fun and opportunities for friendly competition. It's never the same game twice, which keeps things exciting and fresh. Sharing Mahjong with others brings us so much joy, and we love seeing others experience the same happiness we feel while playing.

What is your favorite mahjong memory? 

Our favorite Mahjong memory was hosting our very first Mahj Squad event. We were overwhelmed by the love and support from our friends and community. It was such a special moment to see everyone come together, enjoy the game, and share in the excitement of this new chapter.

What is your favorite NJML line or mahjong tile? 

Our favorite tiles are always evolving! Right now, Kelly is drawn to the playful Cheeky line, while Shaw keeps coming back to the Botanical line.

What makes you laugh? 

What always makes us laugh are the one-liners at every Mahjong event. We could easily write a book based on them—or, if we had more time, we’d be needlepointing some truly hilarious pillows!

One thing you can't live without.

Motto for life

Do what you love 💗

What would you sing on Karaoke night?

No singing for us, we’ll be cheering you on from the sidelines.

What Mahjong Line set is your favorite to play on?

Our favorite tiles to teach with are the Minimal line in Palm Springs. The tiles are simple to read, and they pair perfectly with any mat and rack combination. When we're playing with friends or family, though, we love switching things up and pulling out a different set for fun variety!
