Adult Division:

Jigsaw puzzling teams will be comprised of up to four people. The winning team will be decided by who completes the 1,000-piece puzzle first or has the least number of pieces remaining after two-hours of puzzling. In case of a tie, the event organizers will organize a puzzle-off.

Adult Team Cost: $100 per team. Registration includes light snacks, and two drink tickets for beer or wine per person. Non-alcoholic drinks will be available for everyone. Beer and wine will be available for those over the age of 21 with ID.

Auction: The event will kick off with a short live auction. In addition to supporting quicker puzzling, auction items and opportunities will be inspired by some of our favorite (and frustrating) games.

Adult Team Prize: The winning team will receive $100, and each team member will receive a puzzle.

Kids Division:

This event will include a kids' puzzling competition. Kids' teams will be made up of two competitors completing a 250-piece puzzle within two-hours. There are two age divisions: 5-10 years of age and 11-16 years of age.

Each team will receive snacks and keep their puzzle.

Kids Team Cost: $40 per team; or $20 per child with Rotary pairing children together.

Kids Team Prize: Certificates and local gift certificate for a sweet treat
