Our 2026 New York Speed Puzzling Championship will be held on May 9th in 2 locations (using the same puzzles in both):

  • NYC: The venue is Adelphi University UC Ballroom, 1 South Ave, Garden City, NY 11530.
  • Upstate: The venue is Silver Street Event Center (Ballroom), 108 Silver Street, East Syracuse NY 13057.


Select the appropriate location (NYC vs Upstate).


Please check in for the Solo Puzzle Pyramid race at 2:15 pm. Instructions will be given at 2:25, and the contest will start immediately afterward.


The Puzzle Pyramid is a multiple-round event, played for the very first time during Speed Puzzling Cruise 2025. Space is limited. 1/3 of the original participants will be eliminated after each round. The start of each round will be synchronized.

  1. Round 1: Each person will be given the same 100 piece puzzle, concealed in a poly mailer. We will count down "3, 2, 1, GO!", and each person will open their puzzle and begin assembling it. As soon as the first 2/3 of racers finish their puzzle, round 1 will end, and they will advance to round 2. If 2/3 of the racers have not finished within 10 minutes, we will determine the remaining people who will advance, based on the # of pieces assembled in 10 minutes. (You will be given credit for any groups of 2+ connected pieces.)
  2. Round 2: Each person will be given the same 200 piece puzzle, concealed in a poly mailer. We will count down "3, 2, 1, GO!", and each person will open their puzzle and begin assembling it. As soon as the first 1/2 of the remaining racers finish their puzzle, round 2 will end, and they will advance to round 3. If 1/2 of the remaining racers have not finished within 20 minutes, we will determine the remaining people who will advance, based on the # of pieces assembled in 20 minutes. (You will be given credit for any groups of 2+ connected pieces.)
  3. Round 3: Each person will be given the same 300 piece puzzle, concealed in a poly mailer. We will count down "3, 2, 1, GO!", and each person will open their puzzle and begin assembling it. The top 3 racers to finish will receive a prize. If no racers have finished within 30 minutes, we will determine the winners, based on the # of pieces assembled. (You will be given credit for any groups of 2+ connected pieces.)


Examples:

  • If 60 people register, there will be 60 racers in round 1, 40 racers in round 2, and 20 racers in round 3.
  • If 25 people register, there will be 25 racers in round 1, 17 racers in round 2, and 9 racers in round 3.


You will have 1 hour total to finish your 3 puzzles. If you do not finish the puzzle within the time limit, you will be given credit for any groups of 2+ connected pieces. Rankings will be established first by completion time, and then by the number of pieces placed.


For each event, the contest puzzles are yours to keep. All racers will receive all 3 puzzles, even if they don't advance to all 3 rounds.
