GiGi’s Playhouse Puzzle Marathon

GiGi’s Playhouse Puzzle Marathon - Saturday April 25, 2026 8:45am - 5:00pm

Please join fellow puzzle lovers in a charity puzzle marathon benefitting GiGi's Playhouse of Houston. GiGi's Playhouse provides services to individuals with Down Syndrome from birth through adulthood. You can learn more about GiGi's Playhouse of Houston's current program offerings at https://gigisplayhouse.org/houston/programs/. All net proceeds and donations benefit GiGi’s Playhouse of Houston.

At the marathon, teams of four (4) to six (6) participants work to complete 16 puzzles — 10,200 pieces in total — in eight (8) hours. Puzzles range in size from 300 to 2,000 pieces from beloved brands such as Ravensburger, Cobble Hill, Villager Puzzles, Enjoy, Puzzle Twist, Master Pieces and Brothers and Sisters. Each team gets to take home all puzzles completed and attempted to share amongst members of the team.

We can help you with finding a team or additional team members. Just let us know about the need during registration.

Not interested in being a marathon participate? Please consider volunteering and/or joining the puzzle swap. No cost tickets are required for both volunteers and swap-only participants. Marathon participants are automatically eligible to participate in the puzzle swap. Please ensure all puzzle pieces are secured in a baggie inside the box or secure the box lid with a rubber band or removable tape to prevent lost pieces. No missing piece puzzles please.

Marathoners and volunteers are provided with water and snacks throughout the day and lunch if present at 12pm. If you have special dietary considerations, please complete the dietary registration question so that we can work with you to accommodate your needs.

For help with registration issues and/or if you have additional questions, please email Gloria Johnston at gloria@johnston7.com or text at 919-723-7938.

Happy Puzzling!
