Puzzle Contest Details

If you are here, it means you are completing the Time Colonist Christmas puzzle.

Here are the instructions and template to get you started:

  1. Cut out the Christmas template appearing in the November 7 and 8 Times Colonist and, starting on November 14, find a Butchart puzzle piece within the paper. Cut out the puzzle piece and attach it to the correct rectangle until you have all twelve.
  2. The completed Christmas puzzle is valid for one free adult admission redeemable only from December 1 to December 7, 2024.
  3. All puzzle pieces must be Times Colonist originals and must glued or taped to the original template to receive complimentary admission.
  4. Completed templates are not for resale. They have no cash value and therefore cannot be upgraded to a 12 Month Pass.
  5. To redeem your complimentary admission, please book your timed entrance ticket here. Select the Magic of Christmas category, then select a Complimentary, Prepaid & Discounted Admissions ticket, and follow the prompts to reserve your date and time to visit between December 1 – 7.

Please note, this contest is not available to digital subscribers.

*Due to the no print edition of the Wednesday, November 20 Times Colonist because of power outage caused by storm, the #6 puzzle piece will appear in the Thursday, November 21 paper with the #7 piece. Keep your eye out for both in Thursday’s paper.
