Attention all puzzle enthusiasts! Jix Hobbies is thrilled to announce our most anticipated event of the year — the Jix Hobbies Puzzle Competition. We’re upping the ante with three separate sessions of intense, fun-filled puzzling.

The Challenge: 

Are you and your team ready to battle against the clock and each other? Sharpen your minds for a 500-piece puzzle in 100 min that could either be your road to glory or a delightful brain teaser. 

Session Details:

  • Session 1: 9:00 – 11:00
  • Session 2: 12:00 – 14:00
  • Session 3: 15:00 – 17:00

Fees & Prizes:

  • Entry Fee: R200 per team.
  • Keep the Puzzle: Add R50, and the puzzle you conquer is yours to keep.
  • The Spoils: Each session's winning team secures a spot in Jix Hobbies' Puzzle Hall of Fame and a mystery prize (*cough cough* a beautiful puzzle) sure to delight any puzzle lover.
  • Points: Remember that each team and every individual also gathers points each time they participate in a Puzzle Competition.

Rules of Engagement: 

Teams of up to four participants will need to demonstrate teamwork and skill to assemble the puzzle within the allotted time. Remember, it’s not just about speed — precision counts! Misplaced pieces could cost you the title.

How to Prepare:

  • Team Strategy: Discuss who will tackle which sections of the puzzle to maximize efficiency.
  • Practice Runs: Try a few 500-piece puzzles before the event to get into the zone.
  • Rest Well: A clear, rested mind is your best tool when taking on a puzzle challenge.

Sustenance for the Mind: 

We know that such mental exertion can build up quite the appetite. Worry not — a selection of refreshments and snacks will be available to keep your energy levels high and your mind sharp.
