Emporia Main Street, Trox Gallery & Gifts, and the Lyon County History Center are calling all puzzlers for a night of friendly competition, fast fingers, and perfectly fitting corners! 🧩
Welcome to The Jigsaw Jam—where teamwork meets table space and every click of a puzzle piece counts.
Join us on Thursday, February 12th at the Lyon County History Center for two hours of puzzling entertainment. Grab a partner for the Couples Division or assemble your best brains for the Team Division—then get ready to race the clock.
Each team will receive the same mystery puzzle (approximately 500 pieces, wrapped in brown paper—no sneaking a peek!). The clock starts promptly at 6:00 p.m., and teams will have two hours to complete their puzzle. When you finish, raise your flag and an official timekeeper will check your puzzle to confirm completion.
Divisions & Entry Fees:
Couples (2 people) – $30
Teams (3–4 people) – $50
Registration: Limited to 25 teams (no solo entries)
Check-in: 5:15–5:45 p.m. (3rd floor of the Lyon County History Center- 711 Commercial Street)
