Part 1: The Puzzle Swap
Doors open at 1:00pm. You're invited to bring up to 3 boxed puzzles ready to be rehomed to swap for some new-to-you puzzles for free! Please make sure the puzzles are complete and the boxes are taped shut. You do not need to register for the swap.
Part 2: The Team Puzzle Competition
12 four person teams will have 120 minutes to assemble the same 500-piece puzzle. The first team to finish wins. If at the end of 120 minutes no one has completed the puzzle the team with the fewest free pieces will be declared the winner. The winning team will receive a new 1000-piece puzzle.
Team Pre-registration is required and will begin on July 1. There is a limit of 12 four-person teams. Please have only one member of your team register.
