Jigsaw Puzzles, Pints & Pinot Competition

Description

The Bighorn and Pintler's Portal Hostel are hosting a head-to-head puzzling competition in the hostel's perfect mountain-casual space. Race as a team of up to 4 players, all while enjoying lunch and your choice of beer or wine beverages from The Bighorn. 

 

The per-team admission includes a factory-sealed team puzzle (that the team gets to take home following the competition), lunch to enjoy pre-competition, and beverages. Choose between one bottle of wine for your table or one 4 pack of beer. Additional Bighorn beverages will be available for purchase on-site as well, including various beer, wine, and non-alcoholic options. 

 

Whichever team can put together a 500-piece jigsaw puzzle the fastest wins a free entry into our next puzzling competition at Pintler's Portal, as well as a $30 gift card to The Bighorn. Each team will receive the same puzzle, but no one will get to see the puzzle until the timer begins. (The puzzle pictured here is not the competition puzzle).

 

For an additional cost, reserve your room at Pintler's Portal, to ensure you have a place to crash once the competition concludes! You can book a room for your whole team, or a single bunk. 

 

We need 6 teams minimum to sign up and we have a 16 team cap on the puzzling competition.
