Never heard of speed puzzling? You’re in for a surprise.
Speed puzzling is a fast-growing sport where teams race the clock and each other to complete a jigsaw puzzle in record time. It’s strategy, focus, and adrenaline, all rolled into one.
And the Portland Jigsaw Masters? It takes that intensity and transforms it into a spectacular vibe!
This isn’t just puzzling - it’s a show. Think the energy of a thrilling basketball game, but with puzzle pieces dashing across the table. Competitors hustle to find that next perfect piece. Commentators call out big plays. Music keeps the energy high. Spectators cheer from the sidelines. And giant screens capture every dramatic moment, so no one misses the final piece drop.
Whether you're puzzling solo, paired up, or rolling deep with a team, the Portland Jigsaw Masters is where competition meets community and where jigsaw puzzling becomes a full-on experience.
Completing the Puzzle, a subscription based puzzle company (and one of our wonderful customers), will be sponsoring the Live-Stream. So if you can't make it in person, we invite you to watch online. Link to come as the date approaches!
When is it?
