Speed Run Contest

Introducing the 3rd Official USAJPA Speed Run Puzzle Contest!

What is the goal of the speed run?

The goal is to complete the puzzle as fast as you can. There is no limit to how many times you can submit your completion times, keep aiming to beat your own time and others.

About the puzzle

“Quilted Critters” is from the Mixed Up! series by PuzzleTwist, so the puzzle image will be slightly different than what you see on the box - an extra speed puzzling challenge!

The artist behind this puzzle image is Mirka Hokkanen, who joined us at the 2025 USA Jigsaw Nationals to reveal this 3rd Speed Run. Mirka Hokkanen is a Finnish-American author, illustrator and printmaker who creates animal and nature inspired work. Her art has been shown in galleries around the world but she's most known for her humorous picture books. She lives in Maryland and loves to pieces puzzles together with her three kids.
