Puzzle Competition

Join us for the SSP Community Education first Jigsaw Puzzle Competition.

How it works: Teams of single, two to four people are assigned a new, unopened 500-piece puzzle. Each team receives the same puzzle. A jigsaw puzzle competition typically consists of individuals and teams that compete against one another putting a puzzle together. Whoever completes their puzzle first wins. Pre-registration is required as we only have space for 12 teams.

Here is a breakdown of the basics:

Each team receives the same puzzle
No one gets to see the puzzle until the timer begins – the puzzle boxes are placed face down before the competition starts
Individuals or teams try to put the puzzle together the fastest
In the event of a tie, individuals or teams can be given an additional five minutes to work on the puzzle
There are no devices or outside assistance permitted while working on a puzzle
Two moderators help with the event – one to handle the timer and completion times, and another to observe and ensure that competitors are abiding by the rules
Individuals and teams are not allowed to distract or approach team tables when the competition is in progress
