Curious? Here Are Some FAQs Just for You!

Puzzlepalooza is a fun, fast-paced competition where teams race to complete a jigsaw puzzle! Here’s how it works:

1️⃣ Teams & Setup – Each team gets the same puzzle and a designated table.
2️⃣ Ready, Set, Puzzle! – When the timer starts, teams begin assembling their puzzles as quickly as possible.
3️⃣ Winning the Game – The first team to fully complete their puzzle wins! If no team finishes within the time limit, the team with the most completed puzzle pieces takes the victory.
4️⃣ Prizes & Bragging Rights – The winning team scores Apple AirPods and, of course, ultimate Puzzlepalooza bragging rights for the year!

Bonus Fun: Enjoy a basket raffle, snacks, and a great time with friends and family—all while supporting P.E.O. scholarships for women’s education!

A team name isn’t required, but it's highly encouraged! 😆 Get creative, have fun, and let your team’s personality shine—because “The Fast & The Flurrious” or “Piece Makers” sound way cooler than “Table 3.” 🧩🏆

No, consider it a donation. We can't process refunds. All the proceeds go towards scholarships for women so you can feel good about yourself even if you can't participate in the fun. Thanks!

The space is well-suited and easily accessible. Handicap parking is available and there is a ramp to the venue.

We’re a multi-generational bunch, and everyone’s invited! Bring your significant other, kids, grandma, quirky aunt, or even your too-cool-for-this teens. If you’d take them to trivia night or karaoke, they’ll probably have a blast here too. Round up your coworkers, gym buddies, or that super friendly cashier at your grocery store. Bottom line—everyone’s welcome!

Absolutely! If they are under 5, we suspect they are along for the ride, so they can attend for free. Puzzles are a great family activity and everyone can contribute. Teamwork makes the dream work after all. Please keep an eye on your kids though. We'll be busy stirring up shenanigans, refilling snack bowls and passing out prizes. So, we cannot be responsible for puzzle pieces that get gummed on. Also, unattended children may drink coffee and be promised a puppy. Use your best judgment for what will be the most fun for you

We adore your furry sidekicks, but for this event, we kindly ask that pets sit this one out. Service animals are, of course, welcome—just make sure they stay leashed or contained, and don’t try to take over the snack table! 🐾 Thanks for understanding!

There will be snacks and beverages conducive to puzzling for sale. We understand that people may have a multitude of dietary needs and cannot guarantee that we'll have what you need. Practice good self-care and come prepared.

We'll have teams of 4 racing to complete a 500-piece jigsaw puzzle. Each team will have the same puzzle. How you divvy it up and approach your puzzle is up to you. The first team to finish wins the glory, the prize, and the bragging rights. Everyone has a blast!

Sweet! Sign up as an individual and we'll piece teams together. Just think how fun it'll be making new friends! Have 2-3 of you? That’s great too, we’ll fill out the team for you.

What would a puzzlepalooza be without some quirky fun? Pick a punny name! Why not? The Puzzle Masters, Getting Jiggy, Falling to Pieces, are all in the spirit of it- or keep it simple, The Johnsons, "4 guys with nothing better to do," Strangers on a Game... you do you.
