What Is a Speed Puzzle Competition?
-
Teams of 3–5 people compete to see who can complete a 500-piece jigsaw puzzle the fastest. All teams receive the exact same puzzle. The first team to complete it wins! This event is inspired by official speed puzzling competitions but designed to be more relaxed, social, and welcoming to all skill levels.
Competition Rules:
- Teams may not view the puzzle before the competition begins.
- Each team will receive the same sealed 500-piece puzzle at the start.
- No phones, tablets, photography, or outside help allowed during the event.
- Teams should keep conversation respectful and at a reasonable volume.
- The first team to finish their puzzle wins. If no team finishes in time, the team with the fewest pieces left wins.
- Prizes will be awarded to the 1st place team (and optionally 2nd and 3rd if prize quantities allow).
- Need accommodations to participate? We’re happy to assist! When registering your team online, please feel free to indicate any reasonable accommodations your team may require.
- Be kind, be collaborative, and have fun! This is a community event focused on teamwork and shared enjoyment.

- You must have at least 3 confirmed participants at the time of registration.
- Only one person per team needs to complete the registration form.
