NZJPA Manawatu Regional Speed Puzzling Event 2026

Join us for the Manawatu's first regional speed puzzling event. There are two categories:

• Individual – 500-piece puzzle (9am-12pm)

• Team (up to four people) – 1000-piece puzzle (1pm-4pm)
  

• 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.

Please note Individuals will get half a table each to work on - so bring your sorting trays and other permitted tools (as per the rules) to assist.

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 some fun puzzle merchandise on sale! 

There are café's and restaurants for refreshments within a short drive, or you can bring your lunch & snacks!

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 by email prior to the event.

Organised by New Zealand Jigsaw Puzzle Association.
