Frequently Asked Questions
Where and when is it located?
Portland, Oregon at the Melody Event Center from August 2nd - 4th, 2024.
Is there a discounted hotel rate?
Yes, there are limited rooms available at $145/night. Information and a link is shared in the confirmation email once you have registered for either a contest or the convention pass.
I’m having issues with registration. What should I do?
Email us at contact@portlandjigsawmasters.org for assistance.
Do I have to buy the tournament pass to participate?
The tournament pass is entirely optional. It’s a great option for people planning to attend for much of the weekend and both competitive and non-competitive puzzlers would benefit by purchasing a pass to take advantage of many other activities being planned for the event like meals on site, a large cooperative puzzle, sprints, puzzle chess contest, workshops, puzzle swap and social.
Will there be a virtual component to this competition?
No, it is an on-site only competition. It’s difficult to ensure that all rules are followed and that no one has completed the puzzle prior to competition if we add a remote division. The weekend is also intended as a way to bring puzzlers together and connect (no pun intended) for socializing and cooperative puzzling.
I can’t make it this year. Will this be a regular event?
We plan to continue offering the Portland Jigsaw Masters, but have not chosen dates for the next one yet.
