Social and Speed Puzzling Fundraiser Event Ticket

*Please complete the form below before you proceed to checkout. 

While puzzling is often thought of as a quiet, solo activity, something truly special happens when puzzlers come together. Our community is passionate, welcoming, and incredibly supportive, and this fundraising event is an opportunity for us to put that community spirit toward something meaningful.

Join us for a full day of pairs speed puzzling, teams speed puzzling and casual social puzzling. We will have a silent auction, with all money raised donated to the Alberta Children's Hospital Foundation (ACHF).

Are you a solo puzzler without a partner or team? We will match you with other solo puzzlers. Do you already have a partner or team? Great, make sure to note their names on the form below.

Pairs Competition

Two puzzlers will work together on a 500 piece puzzle. All pairs will receive one copy of the same 500 piece puzzle, which is yours to keep at the end of the event. You will have 2 hours to complete the puzzle. Villager Puzzles is sponsoring the pairs competition. 

Teams Competition

A team of four puzzlers will work together to complete a 1000 piece puzzle. All teams will receive one copy of the same 1000 piece puzzle, which is yours to keep at the end of the event. You will have 2.5 hours to complete the puzzle. The sponsor for the teams competition is to be determined.

Prizes

Prizes will be awarded to the top experienced puzzlers and top beginner puzzlers for each competition.

• Beginner puzzlers: those who self identify as being able to complete a 500 piece puzzle in 90 minutes or more
• Experienced puzzlers: those who self identify as being able to complete a 500 piece puzzle in under 90 minutes

Casual Social Puzzling

Decompress after the speed competitions with casual social puzzling. Grab a puzzle, find a table, and dig in. You're welcome (and encouraged) to join a table with people other than your teammates to meet new puzzlers and make more connections. There will be 2.5 hours for social puzzling.
