History
The ARJPA was founded December 11, 2025, when a group of avid puzzlers met and decided to create the Arkansas Jigsaw Puzzle Association. With the rise of puzzle events across the country, we wanted to bring the fun home to Arkansas! Since then, weve hosted events both across the state and online, and are always looking for ways to collaborate with the local community!
