About this Event

Coffee in the Country - Puzzle Challenge!

Come join us for a fun-filled morning of coffee and puzzles in Berne! Test your puzzle-solving skills (300 pieces - 18" x 24") while enjoying delicious coffee in the beautiful countryside. Whether you're a beginner or a puzzle pro, this event is perfect for all ages. Don't miss out on this unique event that combines brain teasers with caffeine! There will be registration for a maximum of 18 teams. See you there!

Event Details: Paying the $20 fee covers the cost of the puzzle for your team. Teams can have between 2-4 participants. Each team will receive the same puzzle. No one will see the puzzle in advance of the start. After a countdown, teams will open their boxes, start a stop watch on a phone, and start puzzling. Once finished, hit "stop" on your timer, and record your finishing time. The first team to finish wins a coupon for a free Berne Wood-Fired Pizza!

Please feel free to enjoy a coffee and pastry while competing. Coffee, tea, smoothies or and pastries will be available from Papa's Roast Coffee Trailer.
You may use a sorting trays. Bring your own if desired.
Puzzles will be put together on picnic tables or 6' tables. Tables will have wooden benches that you can sit on if desired --- or bring your own lawn chair! Claim a table upon arrival.
This is an outdoor event. If the weather would be uncooperative, we will move the challenge inside of Zwingli UCC.
