DescriptionTeams compete to assemble a puzzle. They build the frame, then each team gets an equal portion of the pieces. When it's your turn, the clock counts down until you add a piece. Team with the most time left at the end wins.
BasicsSee above. You have 30 minutes on the clock (more for a larger puzzle). If you run out of time, you lose. At the end, compare time left and the most is the winner.
Why is this something we want to do?Competitive puzzle-building has been a successful event a few times in the past, this is just a different way to compete.
Variations:None Submitted
Preparations:Clare space.
Equipment List:Puzzles, chess clocks; there are many apps for clock.
