I Made 78 People Solve Puzzles Under Ridiculous Rules

13 puzzles. 15 challenges. 10 hours of pairs speed puzzling in Siegen — including the wildest challenge yet: completing a jigsaw puzzle WITHOUT connecting the pieces! After months of planning, ordering puzzles, creating challenge cards, coordinating sponsors, and preparing the venue, 39 pairs came together for a full 10-hour speed puzzle marathon. But this wasn't just a normal speed puzzling event. Over the course of 13 different jigsaw puzzles, participants faced 15 unique puzzle challenges designed to test their creativity, teamwork, and problem-solving skills. From solving a puzzle without connecting any pieces to tackling unexpected restrictions and bonus tasks, every round brought a new surprise. In this video I take you behind the scenes of organizing the event, share some of the preparation process, and show how participants tackled each challenge throughout the marathon. You'll see puzzles from Ravensburger, Cherry Pazzi, Ulmer Puzzleschmiede, and PieceRelax, along with plenty of puzzling action, strategy, and memorable moments from the day. Thank you to everyone who participated, volunteered, sponsored, and helped make the Puzzle Pair Marathon possible. Seeing so many people come together to share their love of jigsaw puzzles made all the hard work worth it.
