Speed Puzzling

Text Speed Puzzling

It is time to gather up a team of family or friends and compete against other seriously fast puzzlers from around the region.

We are back with year two of our speed puzzling competition. Will Othello's Piece Out keep their crown, or will one of last year's top 10 finishers dethrone them to hoist the Speed Puzzling trophy and have it displayed at their local library? Or maybe a new team will come from out of nowhere to make a name for themselves in our 2026 Speed Puzzling Competition.

A little puzzled? Imagine this, you and up to 4 of your best puzzling friends race the clock to sort, build, and complete your puzzle in the shortest time for fame, glory, and prizes! Don't have a team? Let us know on your registration and we will pair you up with other puzzlers looking for a team. Not in it for the glory, but still want to participate? You too can register and march to the beat of your own drum. This event is open to all looking for a seriously fun time. 

Have a puzzle you want to swap or donate? Bring it to our event for an opportunity to puzzle swap. All unclaimed puzzles will be donated to the ARC of Tri-cities

Below you will find the times for all teams who have participated in order of fastest completion. The completion time is in the parenthesis followed by where they participated at. Teams who couldn't quite finish in the allotted time will have a DNF (did not finish) next to their team names and the amount of pieces they did not have connected. Teams with less unconnected pieces will be ranked higher than teams with more unconnected pieces.
