3rd Jigsaw Puzzle Championship of Panassac

Published 18 October 2016 | By wap

Sunday, 2nd October 2016, new edition of the puzzle contest of Panassac

For the third time (after 2012 and 2014) the Association "the puzzle is in the field" organized its jigsaw puzzle championship in Panassac.

This year, there were 50 registered and 48 teams present. This competition achieved a large increase (30 teams in 2012, 35 teams in 2014) but also a new public.

On the 1st edition in 2012, the public was more "local" not necessarily accustomed to the practice of the puzzle with only one team in 1000 pieces (to be sure of winning as they said!).

This time, nine teams in 1000 pieces and some really passionate.

How the day went...

Welcome from 10h to 11h, 11h to 16h30 puzzle with a meal break of about 1h for everyone

The Clementoni puzzles offered this year in the different categories:

Category experts puzzle 1000p rainbow beach huts
Category amateurs puzzle 500p illustrazione Venezia
Category ados puzzle 500p bright red heart
Category enfants puzzle rond 212p Minions orlando

This year the first 3 amateur teams finished the puzzle in 1h25,1h26 30" and 1h26 50".

But the record establish in 2014 of 57 minutes remains unequaled.

a few Words from organizers

"The kids were confused by the round shape puzzle Minions, next time we will stay classic.

For teenagers, the 500 pieces was too hard. Ideally it would be a puzzle between 200 and 500 pieces, but not easy to find.

The audience was quite familial. Some parents made the competition looking after their young children.

We've had a lot of positive feedback on this issue and strong demand to organize it every year. We have already planned an exterior formula, but not in a competition mode where you really make the puzzle in the meadows, like the name of our association.

Meanwhile, we wish to develop the puzzles loan association. We will also provide an association with local structures: schools, seniors club, recreation center, retirement home .... "

See you in 2017!

...Thanks...
