Tournaments waiting for you

🏆Puzzle duel: Compete with others in a knockout duel and claim one of the three titles of Duel Champion! Who’s going to get more time left on the clock?

🏆Puzzle Pair Relay: in teams of two, assemble two sets of 200 pieces as fast as possible. As a minor hurdle, you will swap at the jigsaw every 5 minutes, on the mark of the presiding judge!

🏆Blind Assembling: one of you is “hands”, the other one–”eyes”. “Eyes” tell the “hands” where to place each piece, but cannot touch the jigsaw themself. It’s all about teamwork, understanding, as well as giving and receiving direction! After you assemble the picture, the roles swap to keep it fair.

🏆Jigsaw Puzzle Team Tournament: it’s dangerous to go alone… so gather your party of up to 4 players. It doesn’t matter if it’s your friends or family—take part in the exciting jigsaw puzzle tournament. Cooperation, quick decisionmaking, and a good eye will be key to assemble the full picture before anyone else does. Will your team prove to be the best one and win?

🏆Puzzle (S)Witcher: take part in the Witcher-themed jigsaw puzzle team building game, and cooperate with other participants to create amazing pictures together. What’s important here is collaboration, a good eye, and a hint of Witcher-like intuition. Instead of rivalry—good atmosphere, working together, and satisfaction growing with the correct placement of each piece.

Registration for the tournaments starts tomorrow (June 6) at noon (CEST)!

Meet Roch Urbaniak!

A special guest of this year’s Jigsaw Puzzle Zone is artist Roch Urbaniak—you can admire his works not only at the exhibitions, but also while assembling the puzzles. It’s a unique chance to chat with the creator, catch your breath away from the bustle of crowds, and take a look at the artistic side of jigsaw puzzles.

Exhibitions that present puzzles in a new light

🖼️ „Puzzle Fun” is a space for chaos and laughter: weird shapes, absurd illustrations, easter eggs, and everything that makes your brain twist and bend as if you’re solving the Rubik’s cube with one hand. Here, you’ll see jigsaws that break all the rules with their weird shapes, unusual pictures—humorous, absurd, and crazy. This space is not about the realistic or the classic, but about fun and creativity. It’s perfect for everyone who likes to be surprised, laugh, and look at jigsaw puzzles from a completely different angle.

🖼️ “Jigsaw Puzzle History: 50 Views of a Castle” is a journey through the history of jigsaw puzzles, following one subject as an example—the famous Neuschwanstein Castle. Sets collected at the exhibition show how the jigsaws, puzzle dies, and even the approach to illustration have all changed over 50 years. See the fairy-tale castle in its dozens of forms, changing with the times and the inexhaustible imagination of the graphic designers.

🖼️ See the multicoloured world of Japan, where majestic landscapes meet the virtuosity of traditional art and the buzz of modern popculture. Each picture here is a piece of the puzzle: from tranquil temples and cherry blossoms, to neon streets and colourful geishas. Discover Japan piece by piece and see its unique harmony of contrasts.

🖼️ In the “Underwater World”, you will dive into the depths of the ocean teeming with coral reefs, sea monsters, and secrets. This exhibition is full of the shades of blue, details, and peaceful magic, where every picture tells a story: from tropical lagoons, to the darkest depths. It’s perfect for both divers and nerds who know that even in jigsaw, there can be deep lore… along with mermaids, tritons and krakens.

🖼️ “Art Gallery” is the exhibition for those who like to visit prestigious gallery openings. Classic pictures—from Vincent Van Gogh to Roch Urbaniak—as jigsaw puzzles, where each piece is a part of art history. This is the place for the fans of visual details and those, who like taking a closer look at paintings, looking for a hidden logic and rhythm. Here, traditional art meets jigsaw puzzle precision, and each set assembled is as satisfying as a mystery well solved.

Creative coves, or what’s waiting for you “in between”.

🧩 Among the various views of the Neuschwanstein Castle, there will be a heap of kinetic sand with castle-shaped moulds waiting for you. Play and build a castle of your own. And to connect it to history: play with cubic puzzles with even more scenes of Neuschwanstein Castle.

🧩 Immerse yourselves in Japanese vibes and feel the ZEN. Here, among the views of Mount Fuji, you can glue a Japanese style pagoda or relax by designing a mini zen garden. Get your tiny rakes and bricks!

🧩 The Art Gallery is full of inspiration, so you can paint your own puzzles with ease. Out of those, we will create a unique piece of jigsaw puzzle art. Here, you can also become a part of esteemed artworks, using them as a backdrop to take your pictures.

🧩 The Underwater World is boasting its sea life and watery fun, so at this exhibition you will be able to relax by catching magnetic fish. And for those, who want more water sensorics, there’s a tank with orbeez and a sea creature hunt game.

🧩 Puzzle Fun is more than just the most unusual jigsaw puzzles in the world. Sit down and play with different types of puzzles, creating colourful pictures with Jixelz or intriguing constructions with Connect blocks.

Free assembling, or our way of relaxing!

The free assembling puzzle space is a calm harbour away from the excitement; a place where you can sit down for a while (or a while longer) and focus on the jigsaw. Here, we have various puzzles: from the simple ones, to those more challenging, perfect for a short break or a longer moment of focus. It’s a place with no rush, where the joy of creation and satisfaction from each of the pieces assembled are what counts.
