Information

Quiet Events Only

The only events held at this competition are blindfolded and fewest move events, which require a significant amount of concentration. All attendees, including competitors and guests, are asked to remain AS QUIET AS POSSIBLE throughout the day to allow competitors to concentrate.

Note for New Competitors

Although first-timers are welcome to compete if they can solve puzzles blindfolded, this competition is not the traditional WCA competition experience. Please consider registering for another competition, such as UMBC Fall 2025, if this one isn't for you.
