Join the competition to determine the fastest solo jigsaw puzzler at Speed Puzzle-Palooza! Register below to compete to see who can complete an identical 500-piece puzzle in under 3 hours. Prizes will be awarded to the 3 fastest puzzlers, and every competitor will be able to keep their competition puzzle. (Team competitors, make sure to sign up on the Team Competition page.)

Doors will open at 9:30, and the clock will start at 10:00 a.m. All participants will have an assigned table. Be sure to arrive on time!


We will also have a puzzle swap meet outside the competition area. Bring used puzzles in good condition (no missing pieces, please) to exchange.

Ages 16 & up. Registration is required by August 10 so we know how many puzzles to order. Only 12 spots are available, so act fast! Click here to see a complete list of rules for the competition. Contact Megan Hines at megan.hines@lamanlibrary.org for more information.
