Pairs and Team Jigsaw Puzzle Contests at Thesis Beer Project- February 2026

Join us for a day of back to back puzzle contests! We will have both a pairs competition (300 piece puzzle) and team competition (500 piece puzzle). Prizes will be awarded to the top finishers in each contest. There will also be door prizes. All participants get to keep their competition puzzle.

You may participate in both contests. The pairs contest will run from 1-3:00. The teams contest will run from 3:00-5:00. Please be sure to buy a ticket for pairs and a ticket for teams if you plan on participating in both competitions. Teams can have up to 4 participants per team.

HOW DOES IT WORK:

Each team/pair will receive the same puzzle concealed in a bag. No one will see the puzzle before the timer starts. After a countdown, teams/pairs will open their boxes and start puzzling. A competition judge will monitor teams/pairs and record finishing times. Once you have completed your puzzle, you may leave, or stay and work on another puzzle and enjoy a drink or two!

RULES:

• You may eat and drink while competing
• You may use box top holders and sorting trays
• You are allowed to bring extra lighting as long as it does not need to be plugged in to an outlet and does not interfere with the lighting for other competitors. These are great lights to use: https://amzn.to/3IAWd7S
• You are not allowed to distract or interfere with other teams
