NZJPA Canterbury Regional Speed Puzzling Event 2026

Join us for Canterbury's speed puzzling event. There are three categories:

- Individual – 500-piece puzzle by eeBoo (9am-11am)
- Pairs – 500-piece puzzle by eeBoo (12pm-2pm)
- Team (up to four people) – 1000-piece puzzle by eeBoo (2:30pm-5:30pm)

For each category, all participants receive the same puzzle and assemble it as fast as they can. The exact puzzle is kept secret and wrapped until the timer starts. Participants get to take their puzzle home afterwards.

You do not need to be a speedy puzzler to join in. Speed puzzling is fun and invigorating no matter what your speed is. So get your group together and come along to meet other like-minded people and have a great time!

There will be other fun activities on the day for the whole family to enjoy, a puzzle swap and a pop-up jigsaw puzzle store. 

There is also a café and restaurant on site for refreshments, plus accommodation is available at the Commodore Hotel.

The Commodore Hotel also offers FREE shuttles from the airport to the venue!

Visit our website www.nzjpa.org or Facebook for competition rules and for more details. Full event details will be sent out to all participants prior to the event.

Organized by New Zealand Jigsaw Puzzle Association. Generously sponsored by eeBoo.
