I attended the World Jigsaw Puzzle Championship 2025!

On January 1st of 2025, I signed up for the World Jigsaw Puzzle Championship 2025 in Valladolid, Spain. A few months before, I had found out that speed puzzling was a thing and that there was such a thing as a world championship for it. And after having tried my hands at only a few 500-piece puzzles with the timer running, I decided to challenge myself. Because attending a world championship once in your life is quite a bucket list-y thing to do, isn't it? :D Here is my account of that crazy wonderful week in Spain. Come along for the ride! :)

Thank you to everyone in this wonderful community who made this week a wonderful time to remember and cherish, most importantly my pairs and teams partners Alex, Moana and Eirik! And a special shoutout to the representatives of the Puzzleverein e.V., the German Puzzle Association, who made it that much easier to find my way into the community!

Stay tuned for another World Championship video in which I will find out if I would have succeeded in the other individual preliminary rounds!

I have signed up for the German championship in March 2026. Check out the Puzzleverein Deutschland's channel for past and upcoming event livestreams!    / @puzzleverein_de
