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:
- 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.
- The completed Christmas puzzle is valid for one free adult admission redeemable only from December 1 to December 7, 2024.
- All puzzle pieces must be Times Colonist originals and must glued or taped to the original template to receive complimentary admission.
- Completed templates are not for resale. They have no cash value and therefore cannot be upgraded to a 12 Month Pass.
- 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.

*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.
