The Castle Pub Puzzle Competition
2026-04-18 14:00 - 16:00 (America/Detroit) | Castle Farms, 5052 M-66 North, Charlevoix, MI, 49720, United States
Grab your team and get ready for a fun (and slightly competitive) afternoon! Join us for a Puzzle Competition where teams of four will race to complete the same 550-piece puzzle before time runs out. Whether you’re in it to win or just for a good time, this is the perfect excuse to gather your friends and test your teamwork skills.
All puzzles will be identical and pre-wrapped, so every team starts on equal footing. At the start time, everyone will unwrap and begin at the same time. The first team to finish wins prizes for each member! If no team finishes within the two-hour timeframe, the winner will be determined by the team with the fewest pieces left (or most completed puzzle).
$15 per person | $60 per team (teams of 4)
