Speed Puzzling
Race fellow members with the same jigsaw puzzle. 3. 2. 1. Go!
Here’s how it works:
Look for the RSVP link in the monthly Puzzle Club newsletter. Sign in to your MemberPlanet account and RSVP to the monthly event.
On the day of the event, use the provided Zoom link (found in the newsletter or in MemberPlanet) to sign into Puzzle Club.
Once you are in, there will be announcements. And then you will be free to move around the various “rooms” to enjoy your puzzle activity.

How to race against other USAJPA members:
Step One: Everyone needs the same puzzle!
In 2024, USAJPA members, with the help of MasterPieces, can purchase a quarterly bundle of puzzles at a huge discount! *See the Puzzle Club newsletter for link to the USAJPA bundle and get your discount code.
The bundle covers three months of Puzzle Clubs and will include two 500 piece puzzles, one 300 piece puzzle and a pack of four 100 piece puzzles. The newsletter will specify which puzzles will be done that month.
Purchase the puzzles prior to Puzzle Club and have them ready to go.
Step Two: Getting everyone to start at the same time!
Once Puzzle Club is underway, you can head to a speed puzzling breakout room and a moderator will give directions and count down to start.
Step Three: Documenting everyone’s times!
Once finished with your puzzle, you should stop your timer, give yourself a pat on the back, and enter your time into the results form here. *You can also find this link in the Puzzle Club newsletter.
Step Four: Compare your time with other members!
Results will be compiled into Webscorer so you can see how you stack up against other members. Note that some members are there to practice their speed abilities (and they might ignore you), and others are there to casually race and talk with other members. Record your time either way so we have documentation that you participated.
(All members with over 50% participation in Puzzle Club puzzles will be eligible for an end of year raffle!)
Watch for the Puzzle Club recap on Instagram and Facebook about a week later.
If you miss a Puzzle Club, you can still do the puzzle and enter in your time here.
Door Prizes
USAJPA members in attendance have a chance to win puzzle prizes from our monthly sponsor. (One lucky member will even win without attending via the all-members free raffle!) *See the Puzzle Club newsletter for information on our Monthly Sponsor.
