How it Works
Puzzle Competition
Puzzle Competition is for Individuals, Couples (2), or Groups (up to 4) and puzzles will be 300 pieces for Individual and Couple and 500 for Groups. We will be using the USA Jigsaw Association structure so here's what will happen:
How a virtual competition works:
We mail puzzles to the contestants. Do not open the package!
Close to competition day, we email a Zoom link to the contestants. On competition day, at your assigned time, log on to the Zoom call.
We go over rules together, and the packages are opened on camera.
Time starts, people put puzzles together as quickly as possible!
Prizes to the top 3 finishers (all dates will be competing against each other for time).
Or in-person competitions follow the same structure except that your puzzles are waiting for you at the location! Come early to grab brunch and drinks.
You can sign up for either date and will receive the same puzzle. If you want to do both to try and beat your time, you are welcome to, but you will not qualify for the prizes with your second time.
Puzzle Exchange
Bring in your gently used puzzles (with all their pieces) and leave them for someone else to try or swap them out for one of the others in the exchange! Take as many puzzles as you like, leave as many as you want.
Looking for something more casual?
We will have board games and puzzles available for use all day at our in person events. Or, you can bring your favorite board game, Magic the Gathering deck, DnD campaign, puzzle, or card game from home and spend the afternoon playing with friends, family, and the best craft brews in NoVa!
