International Puzzle Day 2026
On International Puzzle Day, 29 January 2026, Ravensburger will bring together the global puzzle community with a live puzzle event. Under the theme “Your Puzzle. Your Moment.”, the premium puzzle manufacturer, in cooperation with Speedpuzzle.eu, invites fans worldwide to solve an unknown 500-piece puzzle simultaneously online. To ensure fairness, the puzzle image will remain sealed until the livestream begins. The focus of the event is puzzle-solving as a shared experience that connects people across time zones, languages and borders.
Warm-up event at Nürnberg Spielwarenmesse
Ravensburger will kick off the day with a warm-up event at the Nürnberg Spielwarenmesse where some of Germany’s top speed puzzlers will practice at the Ravensburger stand. While they will use new Ravensburger puzzles, the live-event puzzle image will remain secret until the global start at 7 p.m. (CET).
Strong demand
Strong demand highlighted the event’s international appeal: when sales opened on 11 December 2025, the first 500 participation sets sold out within minutes. Puzzle fans from countries including Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Spain, France, the UK, the US, Canada, Australia and Japan secured spots, while communities worldwide shared their excitement on social media—demonstrating how puzzling brings people together globally.
