Think you're fast at jigsaw puzzles? Why not come and test your puzzle prowess against other individuals to win exciting prizes!

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 300-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 2 so we know how many puzzles to order. Only 10 spots are available, so act fast! Click here to see a complete list of rules for the competition. Contact Megan Hines at mhines@nlrlibrary.org for more information.
