Program Description

Event Details

Puzzlers - Register your team today to win a $50 gift card!

This 500-piece puzzle competition has a maximum of 6 teams.  Teams can have 2 - 4 members (ages 7+).  Each team must include at least one adult (18+).  Team check-in starts at 12:50; competition begins promptly at 1:00 and ends at 2:45 OR whenever the first team completes their puzzle.  

Contest Rules:

  • Each team receives the same puzzle
  • No one sees the puzzle before the timer begins (puzzles are face down on the table tops)
  • If there is no winner by 2:45, the winner will be determined by the remaining number of loose pieces.  Loose pieces are defined as anything not connected to the main puzzle.
  • No devices or outside assistance permitted
  • Individuals are not allowed to distract or approach team tables while the competition is in progress.  Violation of this rule will result in team disqualification. 
  • Due to space limitations, spectators are not allowed at this event

We have space for a maximum of six teams.  Please register each team member separately and include either the Team Name or the name of your Team Captain in your registration (so that we can accurately group teams).   If you have any questions, please reach out to the staff at the Germantown Hills branch!
