Get ready, California, it’s time to puzzle for regional glory. Introducing…

On Saturday, May 2, 2026, two teams will go head-to-head in an epic speed puzzling race to complete the 7,000-piece Ravensburger puzzle “The Six Portals” by the amazing Rose Cat Khan — all in one afternoon!

Here’s how it works:

• NorCal Team meets in Sunnyvale, CA
