Offline Participation

Secret Sips

Instructions for offline participation

IMPORTANT: Please DO NOT share any images, videos or times from your offline participation until the Guzzle Classic meeting has taken place.

Any informational leaks will be treated severely (Aaron will shake his head at you in a disappointed manner)

 

DEADLINE: The deadline for video submission is the time that the Guzzle Classic competition begins (i.e. the time noted in the product title and on the puzzle label). 

 

VIDEO: You may record a real-time video or a time-lapse (maximum speed 20x) of your solve. For the duration of the video your hands, full puzzle assembly area and functioning timer must be in frame.

In the video, you must show the original puzzle in its unopened black paper wrapping, along with a timer. You may then unwrap the puzzle and take a moment to remove any plastic wrap or stickers. You may also remove the poster if there is one, but the puzzle box must be closed before you start your timer. You may look at the image for up to 30 seconds before starting your timer, opening the puzzle box and starting assembly. Stop the timer when you complete the puzzle, or if you need longer than 2 hours to finish the puzzle, please stop your timer at 2 hours and count the leftover pieces.
