Teams of two to four people will receive identical 1,000-piece jigsaw puzzles and have two hours to complete as much as possible.

If no team finishes before time expires, the winner will be determined by the fewest loose pieces remaining.

Two sessions are scheduled, from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. and from 4 to 6 p.m., giving competitors two chances to join the fun.

The event is open to ages 21 and older, and participants may bring snacks and adult beverages to enjoy while they work.

Registration is priced per team at $45 for Glen Ellyn Park District residents and $55 for nonresidents.

With only a limited number of teams able to participate, interested puzzlers should check registration availability early.

Puzzle Palooza has become a recurring Park District event in 2026, offering adults a relaxed but competitive way to spend an afternoon with friends or family.

For anyone who loves jigsaw puzzles, this is a chance to see how quickly your team can turn a table full of loose pieces into a finished picture.
