New puzzles for the summer! Race each other and the clock at a timed jigsaw puzzle contest.

Bring your own team of up to four people, or join up with others at the event. All teams will be provided with a 500-piece jigsaw puzzle. The first team to finish wins!

If no puzzles are completed during the two-hour contest, the team with the fewest unpuzzled pieces will be declared the winner. In the final count of pieces, groups of three or more pieces joined correctly will be considered “complete.”

Adults, teens, and children age 10 and older can compete. Prizes will be awarded to the first-place team.

New puzzles will be available in July and August—come early for the best selection!
