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) 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:

1 - Everyone needs the same puzzle!

  • For January - March 2026, USAJPA members can purchase a Cobble Hill bundle at a discount! See the Puzzle Club newsletter for more information and your TWO discount codes. The newsletter will specify which puzzle will be done each month!

  • Purchase the puzzles prior to Puzzle Club and have them ready to go.

  • Refer to our past newsletters in the members-only website to find links to past Puzzle Club quarterly bundles.

2 - Getting everyone to start at the same time!

  • Once Puzzle Club is underway (after announcements and directions), you can head to a speed puzzling breakout room and someone will make sure everyone is ready and will do the count down to start. 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. Pick a break out room like, “no talking, just puzzling” or “snack, chat, it’s all good”. Find one that suits your preference. We even have beginner rooms if you are just starting out!

3 - 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.

  • (If you wish to submit times for the Puzzle Club puzzles from 2025, that results form will be open through January 13, 2026 here.)

4 - Compare your time with other members!

  • Results will be compiled into Webscorer (the Monday after Puzzle Club) so you can see how you stack up against other members. Can’t wait? You can check out the Unofficial Results document if they’re not yet on Webscorer.

    • If you forget to record your time within 24 hours of Puzzle Club, you can still submit your time. However, your results may not show up on Webscorer until the end of the quarter.

  • 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(s). *See the Puzzle Club newsletter for information on our Monthly Sponsors.
