Speed Puzzling Competition

Teams of up to 4 participants compete to see who can finish their puzzle the quickest. The first 3 teams to finish win prizes.

1st Prize is $100 in Amazon gift cards. 2nd Prize is $60 in Amazon gift cards. 3rd Prize is a Library Tote Bag.

Registration begins at 12:30 pm. It will close at 1 pm or when full. Nobody will be admitted after registration closes.

Teams will be provided with a table and a sealed puzzle. Puzzles must remain sealed in their bag until the timer begins. Boxes may be opened before the timer begins.

If no team completes their puzzle before time expires, remaining pieces will be counted. The team with the fewest remaining pieces wins.

Puzzlers may keep their puzzle at the conclusion of the competition.

Headphones are allowed if they do not disturb other puzzlers.
