PubPuzzle brings people together for team-based jigsaw puzzle competitions at local breweries. It's trivia night—but for puzzle lovers.

Our events combine the thrill of competition with the social atmosphere of your favorite local brewpub. Grab your friends, enjoy some craft beer, and race to complete your puzzle before the other teams!

How It Works

Step 1

Grab your friends and register as a team of 2-4 people. Don't have a team? No problem! We'll match you with other solo puzzlers.

Step 2

Show up at the brewery on event night. Each team gets the same puzzle and competes to solve it as fast as possible.

Step 3

Win prizes, beer, and glory! Top teams receive brewery gift cards, PubPuzzle swag, and bragging rights until the next competition.

The Rules

1

Teams of 2-4 Players

Each team must have between 2-4 players. Solo players will be matched with others to form teams.

2

Same Puzzle for All

All teams receive identical 500-piece puzzles. Puzzles are revealed only when the timer starts.

3

90-Minute Time Limit

Teams have 90 minutes to complete their puzzle. The team that finishes first wins!

4

No Phones or References

No looking at the box image or using phones to search for puzzle solutions during the competition.

5

Have Fun!

The most important rule: have fun! PubPuzzle is about bringing people together through friendly competition.
