Grove City Halloweeknight 2025

Nineteen competitors gathered inside City Hall on October 31, 2025, for an evening of intense speedcubing matchups. While classic events like Fewest Moves demand quiet concentration with pen, paper, and methodical planning far away from ticking stopwatches, this tournament embraced raw pacing across five compact rounds. Grove City Halloweeknight 2025 brought rapid dexterity to the forefront in Grove City, Ohio, USA, delivering a thrilling contrast to deliberate solve disciplines through four high-tempo events.

Jack Hamilton secured second place on the podium with an average of 3.35, while Andrew Sotto rounded out the top three with an average of 4.01 in an eighteen-competitor field that kept timers firing without pause.

The 3x3x3 One-Handed event provided some of the closest battles of the evening, drawing fifteen solvers to test their one-handed precision. Clara Litman captured first place, posting a winning average of 15.74 and the fastest single solve of the event at 11.87. Braden Richards applied serious pressure to take the second podium spot with a 15.88 average, while Jack Hamilton earned third place with a 19.33 average to add another podium finish to his tally.
