The Build Your Edge tracks are virtual (via Zoom). Participants will receive Zoom links via their access to their bootcamp track course in CSP Basecamp (hosted on the Circle platform).

The Piece by Piece track is for puzzlers who are relatively new to speed puzzling or puzzlers who want to revisit and solidify their foundational speed puzzling skills before diving into advanced strategies and techniques.

Puzzle with Purpose is right for you if you already know the basics of speed puzzling and want to learn how to think like a top speed puzzler, no matter what your average solve time is today.

If you are consistently solving 500 piece puzzles in under 90 minutes and you've participated in several speed puzzling competitions in the past, you may want to consider The Fast Track, where we'll dive into the advanced strategies and techniques we use in competitions!

We have an excellent roster of Canadian facilitators, including podium finishers at Canadian Nationals, World Jigsaw Puzzle Championships participants, and incredible puzzle aficionados, including:

• Allison Elgersma @allisondoespuzzles

• Catie Dulude Sicard @blackcatpuzzles

• Danielle Engleson @danibam54

• Devon Donaldson @devonspuzzled

• Lizabeth Stanley @puzzlizzie

• Sophie Helg @sopieceful

• Tess McLachlin @tesslikesspeedpuzzling

Pricing is listed on the registration page.

The Piece by Piece track includes one small warm up puzzle and one 300-piece competition puzzle.

Both the Puzzle with Purpose track and The Fast Track include one 250-piece puzzle and one 500-piece competition puzzle.

The brands we are using will remain a mystery until we open the puzzles together on the Zoom calls.

Module dates, times, and durations are listed on the registration page. Note: Module 4 for all tracks is the competition module, and will be 2 hours in duration.

Very interactive. Hands-on practice and dialogue are the cornerstones of the Build Your Edge bootcamps. While the facilitators will spend time talking about the topics of the day, we dedicate time for interactive exercises, assignment recaps, Q&A, and the virtual competition. Do plan to participate in the conversation!

Right now, the Build Your Edge bootcamps are open to Canadian residents only.

Canadians living abroad are encouraged to join CSP Basecamp on the Circle platform and join our Bring Your Own Puzzle virtual events! We are also looking for the right opportunities for international puzzlers to join us for other events at a later date.

Right now, the program is available in English, however French-language offerings of the Build Your Edge program are certainly on our roadmap!

The tracks have been designed with different learning and skill development needs in mind, so we ask that you choose the one that's right for you at the moment.

No. We expect our participants to adhere to the Puzzler Honour Code of leaving virtual competition puzzles in the box or bag as requested until we open them together on the competition Zoom call. No peeking, please!

Canadian Speed Puzzlers is a separate and distinct organization whose mission aligns with and complements many puzzle organizations from around the world - to elevate performance puzzling by inspiring excellence, showcasing Canadian talent, and welcoming puzzlers of every pace.

You bet! Fill out this form to join the mailing list for future event notifications and other Canadian Speed Puzzlers updates.

We ask that you block your calendar for all the module dates when you register for a track. We do understand that life happens, and if you have to unexpectedly miss a module, please let us know. Email us at info@canadianspeedpuzzlers.ca.

If it has been less than 72 hours since you registered AND we have not yet shipped out your puzzles, contact us at info@canadianspeedpuzzlers.ca for a full refund. We cannot provide refunds otherwise.

If you already have your puzzles (or they're in transit), and your cohort hasn't begun yet, and you would like to transfer your spot to another puzzler, that is a great idea! You will need to ensure they can get the puzzles from you, and let us know the name and contact information of the new participant so we can get them the right CSP Basecamp (Circle course) access and additional information.

If you want to attend the program with another registered participant (e.g., joining the Zoom call in the same room on the same laptop) that is certainly fine with us for the modules that are NOT competitions.

For modules that include a competition, we require each registered participant to log into Zoom on a separate device.

We do not permit observers who are not registered participants. Cats and dogs joining us, however, is not only ok, it's encouraged!

Yes, we will be recording the modules for course auditing, enhancements, and socialization purposes. The recordings will be available to participants in their respective CSP Basecamp (Circle course) pages.

There are no guarantees in life, unfortunately. However, the entire premise of our Build Your Edge program is that speed puzzling is a skill that can be learned! So, while we cannot guarantee you will end up super speedy as a result of signing up for one of our cohorts, we do encourage you to fully participate and see what gains our coaching, drills, and fun challenges can bring to your personal best!

It's possible that some participants will not finish the competition puzzle in the designated time - don't worry, it happens! Prior to the competition, we will provide instructions on what do to in this scenario.

We will provide registered participants a list of suggested supplies and recommendations on setting up the space they'll be in when attending the virtual modules - in general:

• Join CSP Basecamp on Circle

• Have a few puzzles on hand to use in practice drills

• Have a timer available - cell phone timers are perfectly fine

• Make sure your puzzling area is relatively well-lit

• Double-check that your computer or tablet (whatever you'll use to join the Zoom call) has a working camera and audio

• Make sure your puzzling table has at least 20" by 30" of space for the finished competition puzzles - we aren't telling you the actual puzzle dimensions because the puzzle detectives among you will be able to figure out the brands we're using with that information!

The Build Your Edge facilitators are eager to help as many puzzlers build their skills as we possibly can! We are targeting Spring 2026 for the next bootcamp wave.

Yes! We are working on plans for exciting in-person events over the next year and beyond!

The puzzles will be shipped out in batches as registration fills up. We will be shipping from Toronto, Ontario.

We are not charging tax at this time.

Instructions on how to access a Zoom meeting are available on the Zoom website.

Yes. If you have not yet joined our CSP Basecamp community on the Circle platform, please do so before you register. All bootcamp materials, including Zoom links, can only be accessed through Circle. Visit our homepage for the link to register.
