The Puzzle 155 Cup will be the first to crown a champion next time around. Croatia’s Manuel Ukota will face Greece’s Asterios Varsamis-Kyratlidis for the first silverware of the season. The other levelled cups have reached the semi final stages and offer players with lower scores a chance for a trophy – https://www.thepuzzle.place/puzzle-cups-2026/
The Big Cup has also got the first two semi finalists – Valentin Miakinen has timed his two wins to perfection as he claimed one spot, and 5 time WPC Champion Ken Endo took the other. There are eight names remaining to face off and try to grab the other two spaces – https://www.thepuzzle.place/puzzle-big-cup-2026/
The World Cup saw the difficulties that some had with the tricky cube puzzles in Round 4, but the quarter final that attracts the eye is France vs Japan, after France top scored in this round by a long way and could pose a challenge to perennial favourites Japan. Belarus sneaked through to the quarter finals after Indonesia struggled with the cubes and will face a Germany side that required substitute Verena Möhler to cover for Christian König but did manage to make it past Italy – https://www.thepuzzle.place/puzzle-world-cup/
