Saturday 4 march 2017 : PuzzleDay of Durbuy-Barvaux

Since 2012 takes place our favourite competition : the Barvaux-Durbuy puzzleday ! It’s 8 hours of happiness, thanks to the excellent organization, atmosphere and puzzles from Clementoni!

We could not miss this event, which unfortunately took place this year at the same time than the 4 hours contest of Maransart, which we very much appreciate: we had to make a choice, and we hope this problem won’t happen again in the future.

This year We are Puzzled ! did not win the tournament, but the spirit of the competition was there and we gave the best of us until the end ! Our team finished in second position with only 31 tiny pieces behind the winners, and this despite the fact that we were only 3 members out of 4.

The proposed puzzles seemed to us a little bit easier this year than other editions, until we reached the fifth puzzle which was an extremely difficult one all in silver, and all teams messed up their sight on it for several hours. Personally it is not a puzzle that I find beautiful, however it is very original and it was a first for me, so I was very happy to have the opportunity to assemble it. Due to the special material of this puzzle, the pieces are a bit more fragile than usually for a Clementoni, and some got damaged quite quickly; it still is a good quality puzzle, and the pieces fit together well, thanks God…

And to finish the competition, we had the traditional « Impossible puzzle », very colourful this year!

To summarize, it was an excellent day as always, there were great prizes for all teams, a lot of individual competitions for the kids… Isn’t it obvious ? We’ll be back…
