Speed Puzzle Competition
August 8, 2026
We are hosting a Solo and Pairs speed puzzle competition in Chicago using unreleased puzzles from a local Chicago artist!
The Solo speed puzzle competition division will compete to finish a 500-piece puzzle within a 2-hour time limit (10:30am – 12:30pm). The Pairs speed puzzle competition division will have teams of 2 people compete to finish a 500-piece puzzle within a 2-hour time limit (1:30pm – 3:30pm). Prizes will be awarded to the top 3 winners in each division. Both divisions will use an unreleased puzzle from a local Chicago artist, and the artist will be present to sign the competition puzzle if you’re interested in getting your puzzle box signed!
We have spectator tickets for sale that will include the opportunity to participate in the puzzle swap and get free snacks and beverages.
