Collection: Community Build: The Six Portals

Get ready to flex those pattern-recognition muscles! We’re hosting a massive community puzzle event, and we need your hands (and eyes) to conquer a beast of a challenge. We will be tackling the stunning 7,000-piece Ravensburger masterpiece, "The Six Portals", at Gilman Brewing in Berkeley.

Whether you're a speed-puzzler or just enjoy the satisfying click of two pieces joining over a great beer, come help us bring this intricate world to life.

Participation in this event is free, but if you would like to donate towards the cost of supplies please add the "Support the Build" item to your cart. Excess funds collected will be donated to Habitat for Humanity East Bay/Silicon Valley.

Task: Getting organized so we can hit the ground running on build day.
