About this Event
Think you can tackle a jigsaw puzzle faster than anyone else? Come put your skills to the test! We’re hosting a full day of back-to-back speed-puzzling competitions with separate Pairs and Team divisions—plus plenty of prizes and giveaways. Every pair/team gets to take home the puzzle they competed with!
You’re welcome to sign up for one or both contests.
Pairs Competition (300 pieces): 1:00–3:00 PM
Teams Competition (500 pieces): 3:00–5:00 PM
If you plan to compete in both, please purchase a ticket for each event. Teams may include up to four puzzle-solvers. Please note: You only purchase 1 ticket per pair (2 people) or team (up to 4 people).
