Silvensa 2026 Host City Puzzle

Our rules are the same every year: Each of you has one guess only. Please note that the images we provide for each hint can include very subtle hints as well. Obviously they are not always from the location you're looking for. If you think you know where next Silvensa will be, please send us a mail with your full name and your guess to puzzle@silvensa.org.

The first three who guess correctly will get a gift at the next year's Silvensa :)

Solution: Bergen ;-)

Mensa Norway will host Silvensa 2026 from Dec 28 to Jan 1 in Bergen. Congratulations to the winners Fanis, Amalia and Ferri and thank you to everybody who participated!
