Jigsaw Journal

Not your average sports tournament… this one included speed puzzling 🧩🔥 Earlier this month, PieceHouse was proud to sponsor the Speed Puzzle events at the 2026 Masters Games in Dunedin — the country’s largest annual multi-sport event. Each year, the Games bring together competitors from across New Zealand to compete in a wide range of sports, connect with like-minded people, and enjoy the atmosphere of friendly competition. And yes — competitive puzzling is officially a sport.

This September, the New Zealand Jigsaw Puzzle Association is hosting Piece & Quiet — a weekend retreat created especially for people who love puzzles. We’re proud to be sponsoring the retreat and supporting the wider puzzle community.

Jigsaw puzzles have been a popular pastime for centuries, providing entertainment and intellectual stimulation to people of all ages. The history of jigsaw puzzles dates back to the late 18th century when they were first created as educational tools for children.

Our Classic As puzzle represents the classic Kiwi road trip, with a collection of recognisable landmarks, places and experiences. How many can you spot in the artwork?
