Team Jigsaw Puzzle Contest at Hackamore Brewing Company - January 2026

We're going to be completing a puzzle featured at Worlds 2025 at this contest!

Build a team of up to 4 people and see how quickly you can complete a 500 piece puzzle. Prizes will be awarded to the top finishing teams. There will also be door prizes. All teams get to keep their competition puzzle.

HOW DOES IT WORK:

Each team will receive the same puzzle concealed in a bag. No one will see the puzzle before the timer starts. After a countdown, teams will open their boxes and start puzzling. A competition judge will monitor teams and record finishing times. Once you have completed your puzzle, you may leave, or stay and work on another puzzle and enjoy a drink or two!

RULES:

• You may eat and drink while competing
• You may use box top holders and sorting trays
• You are allowed to bring extra lighting as long as it does not need to be plugged in to an outlet and does not interfere with the lighting for other competitors. These are great lights to use: https://amzn.to/3IAWd7S
• You are not allowed to distract or interfere with other teams

DETAILS:

6-7pm: Optional casual puzzling happy hour. Grab a drink and warm up for the main event! Practice puzzles will be provided.

7-9pm: Speed puzzling contest starts - It's your time to shine!

Tables are a mixture of high-tops, normal height tables, picnic tables, and booths with a small step up into them.

$40 per team

There are no refunds, but if you are not able to make the event, we can arrange pick-up for your contest puzzle.
