Here's how it works:

  • Get a team together of 2–4 people. This is an event for 13 years and older.

  • Come 15 minutes early to sign in and get last-minute instructions.

Event Details:

  • Each team will receive the same 500-piece puzzle.
  • The goal is to finish the jigsaw puzzle in the shortest amount of time.
  • If no team finishes within the 120-minute mark, the winning team will be the one with the fewest remaining loose pieces. In the event of a tie, teams will get an additional five minutes to work on the puzzle.
  • No outside assistance is permitted.
  • Team members must be adults or teens and are the only people allowed at their team's table.
  • Feel free to bring snacks for your team to keep up that puzzle energy!

Registration is required. Register for only the morning or afternoon competition, not both. Space is not provided for attendees other than team members at this event.
