The Global Jigsaw Puzzle League
The international governing body for competitive jigsaw puzzling.
An International Jigsaw Puzzle League Organisation
Global Jigsaw Puzzle League (GJPL) is the international governing body for competitive jigsaw puzzling. It operates structured competitions for corporates, schools and individual participants, and establishes league structures, competition formats, official materials (GJPL-approved Assembrio jigsaw puzzles, score sheets and certificates), event standards, qualification pathways and championship frameworks. Competitions are delivered in participating markets through Official Licensed Operators.
