Come join the first Tri-City Puzzle Tournament! Mesa Public Library, Chandler Public Library, and Tempe Public Library will compete to see what city has the fastest puzzlers!

You’ll have a set time to complete the same 500-piece puzzle, and the top team from each branch will move on to the final round at the Downtown Chandler Library (22 S Delaware St. Chandler, AZ 85225) on Saturday, June 28th from 12:00 p.m. - 2:00 p.m.  Compete for the title of Tri-City Puzzle Champions and take home a prize!

  • All teams will be given the same 500-piece puzzle and have 90 minutes to complete it. The team that finishes first wins.
