TEAM CATEGORIES AND CHALLENGES:

  • Family Team ($65 per team): 350-piece puzzle

  • Teams of 2 ($25 per person): 500-piece puzzle

  • Teams of 4 ($25 per person): 1,000-piece puzzle

Each Team category gets a different puzzle size—but all compete for the win. Puzzles are yours to take home!

Prizes awarded to the top team in each category!

HOW DOES IT WORK:

Check-In 6pm / Puzzle Competition Starts 6:15pm

Each team will receive the same puzzle concealed in a bag. No one will see the puzzle before the timer starts. After a countdown, teams will open their bags and start puzzling. Competition judges will monitor teams and record finishing times. Once you have completed your puzzle, stick around for a drink, coffee or even cheer on the other teams!

HAVE SOME FUN! Feel free to wear a team shirt or costume and bring noisemakers to use for when you finish your puzzle.

Whether you're a seasoned puzzler or just in it for the fun, Puzzle Palooza is your perfect night out.

Spots are limited—gather your team and sign up now!
