FAQ

You will receive a reminder and a short-term postponement. If you still do not pay, your registration will be cancelled by us.

Participants under the age of 18 may take part in the competition if accompanied by a parent or guardian. Due to the duration of the competition, we recommend a minimum age of 16 years for all participants.

Spectators are allowed and welcome. There is a separate area in the gallery for spectators and participants who are taking a break.

Basically, a team must consist of at least 4 people. Team members can be changed in the registration form here on the website up to a few days before the competition. If it is no longer technically possible to change team members, the change can be communicated to the organisers at contact@puzzlemarathon.de.

The organisers reserve the right to fill incomplete teams with people on the waiting list or from the spectators.

We will allocate the unoccupied team places to participants on the waiting list or spectators at short notice. If there is no interest, the place remains free, then the team can still join in the puzzle after it appears. If individual team members are too late, they can join their team later.

 

It is not necessary for the entire team to be present from start to finish. The starting team should be present no later than 9.45am, but at least 1 person should be there earlier to register the team. Someone from the team should also stay after the end of the event to collect the team's remaining puzzles.

Each team has a puzzle area measuring approx. 160 x 70 cm.

Trays, plates and sorting boxes are permitted as aids, as are box-top holders. The number and size can be freely chosen and must be brought by the participants themselves.

Scissors, knives and other sharp objects for opening the puzzles are not permitted. The puzzles will already be open, so no tools are necessary.

Additional light sources, objects that change the height or arrangement of the tables and templates that represent the puzzle maker's pattern are also not permitted.

Puzzles cannot be skipped, all puzzles must be puzzled in the intended order.
