Creating jigsaw puzzle events for the puzzle enthusiast!

WHY DO WE DO THIS?

WHY DO PEOPLE ATTEND?

People often ask why we host these events in the community. The answer? It’s the stories like the ones below that make it all worth it. This is why we love the jigsaw puzzle community.

Most come for the challenge and the experience. Some come to win, others for the bragging rights—but everyone walks away with laughs, memories, and quality time with friends and family.

Like the two couples who split into “Team Wives” vs. “Team Husbands” for a puzzle showdown. The real puzzle? Who had the sharper smack talk.

Or the two sisters with seven decades of puzzling between them—gifted entry by a family member—who laughed, sang, and proudly finished ahead of plenty of teams.

One team road-tripped in from Iowa (now that’s commitment), looking for a fun, well-run event walked away declaring they’d found their new favorite.

We see team spirit in creative team shirts—one team was thrilled to have scored a custom Amazon deal. Families came in all forms: sisters, cousins, father-daughter duos. And one team of newly acquainted friends decided puzzling was the perfect way to start their story—and it absolutely was.

Whether you're in it to win or just to enjoy the ride, it’s the joy, camaraderie, and community that keep us coming back. That’s the real picture we’re piecing together.

How a Puzzle Palooza Event Works

  • Each team races to complete the same puzzle—fastest fingers win! Team sizes and ages vary by event, so check the puzzle size before signing up.

  • Sometimes we spice things up with divisions that come with perks… or plot twists.

  • Top 3 teams snag a trophy, a prize of their choice, and of course, ultimate bragging rights. (One win per team per day—share the glory!)

  • You’ll take home your puzzle as a souvenir, and everyone’s in the running for door prizes. Win or lose, you could still go home lucky!
