Join WI-JPA for the 2026 Wisconsin State Jigsaw Puzzle Championship. Find your favorite fellow puzzlers and test your skills against fellow Wisconsin Speed Puzzlers.

Never been to a speed puzzle competition before? That’s okay, here is a quick explanation. Every team receives the exact same puzzle, the puzzle is not revealed until the competition starts. Once the competition starts, each group races to finish the puzzle as fast as they can.

We are hosting a solo, pair, team, team relay speed puzzle event. Solo puzzlers must be at least 16 years old and a Wisconsin Resident. At least one puzzler per pair/team needs to be both 18 years old and a current Wisconsin Resident. There will be a variety of tables, puzzlers get to pick their own table when they check-in. There will be prizes for the fastest puzzlers and door prizes!

How does a Team Relay Work?

Each team will receive 2, 500-piece puzzles. Teams will be working on both puzzles at the same time, but only 2 individuals on each puzzle at a time. Every 5 minutes a judge will call ROTATE and individuals will need to rotate one seat clockwise. Once one puzzle is finished, the clockwise rotation continues and only 2 people may continue to work on the puzzle at a time The teammates not puzzling may verbally and visually indicate pieces to their teammates. The first team to complete both puzzles wins!
