Just an assortment of pictures from the past few months from puzzle events.
I can't believe how lucky I am to have had the chance to meet this many incredible people through this nerdy "solitary" hobby!
I reached the maximum of 20 tags, so if you didn't get tagged, it is insta's fault!

WJPC 2025🧩
I believe I have done a full recap and said everything I can in the vlog I uploaded on my YouTube channel, so I am not going into too much detail here.
This year's competition was a complete roller coaster experience competition-wise, but that was completely secondary to the incredible time I got to spend with some amazing people.
I am so happy that this niche, weird hobby got me into this community. Thank you to each and every one that I got to speak to or even just exchange a wink with during Worlds week.

🧩 Puzzleblitz Siegen 🧩
I obviously couldn't resist participating in my own competition 😅
I didn't find it fair to enter individuals, having picked the puzzles myself, but I thought that pairs and teams would be fine, if I have never done the puzzle myself and my pair and team don't know what it is going to be.
So we made our competition debut!

Pairs with @fraen.puzzles was a blast. Our first competition as a pair and our second puzzle together went amazingly, and we got 5th place of 30 pairs! We did the Glorious Garden Center in 28:53.

And Team Jigsauerkraut 🧩❤️ with Franzi, @caro_puzzles and @puzzle.michelle on a puzzle that was definitely a challenge, managed to get a time of 49:43 and we snatched second place (of 24 teams)! I am super chuffed that we could work together so well and that we managed to get a trophy (the very first puzzling trophy I have ever got).

Now we just have to get at least one more practice weekend going and our next stop will be Valladolid! 🤸🏆

🧩 Jigsauerkraut in Action! 🧩

We had our first official training weekend and what a weekend it was!
We went through a decent pile of puzzles, had a blast, bonded over difficult images, and just overall had a good time together.
I am eternally thankful that I get to know these amazing women better! I can't wait for our first competition in just under 2 weeks!
WJPC will sure be an incredible experience this year, if for nothing else, just that we can puzzle together!
