Welcome once more to a Puzzle Competition at Gnome Games Green Bay West!
Saturday, January 10th we will be hosting a puzzlers at 4pm!
To compete, you’ll be signing up as a team of 2 Adult puzzlers. (Ages 16+), with a $20 entry!
Basic Rules:
1. Gnome will place competition puzzles on tables. Boxes will not be visible to competitors ahead of time.
(We’ll use a bag or giftwrap to hide the puzzles.)
2. All teams start at exact same time. When the competition begins, puzzlers can then
open their box and begin puzzling. A 2 hour timer will be placed on the event.
3. The race ends when the first three teams have completed the entire puzzle.
Prizes: The three winning teams can then select prizes of Ravensburger products from the host store for the total retail amounts listed below:
- 1st place: $200.00
- 2nd place: $100.00
- 3rd place: $50.00
You’ll want to be piecing things together quickly with your partner! Last year’s competition had their 500 piece puzzle completed in less than an hour, with 2nd and 3rd place not far behind! 😀 The teams will also get to keep the puzzle their puzzles.
Here’s what Ravensburger has to say about Speed Puzzling competitions from previous years: “Speed puzzling is an exhilarating twist on traditional puzzle-solving, akin to a competitive sport. Participants race against the clock to complete a puzzle in the shortest time possible, embodying the spirit of athleticism and strategic skill. This thrilling challenge combines the joy of puzzling with the excitement of competition, offering a unique and fast-paced experience for enthusiasts of all levels.”
And some advice from a 2024 World champion! “Practice with different kinds of puzzles, not only the ones that maybe you like the most.”
