The Great Dalnavert Puzzle Derby (Fundraiser)

Join us for the 2nd Annual Great Dalnavert Puzzle Derby Fundraiser! This speed puzzling competition invites puzzle lovers of all ages to test their speed, teamwork, and strategy in a thrilling jigsaw showdown.

How It Works

Each competitor or team receives an identical 500-piece puzzle, kept hidden until the timer begins. The first to complete their puzzle wins! Prizes will be awarded for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place in each round — and every team gets to keep their competition puzzle.

Proceeds from the Great Dalnavert Puzzle Derby support the ongoing preservation and programming at Dalnavert Museum in downtown Winnipeg.
