Queendom Puzzle ({{Korean|퀸덤 퍼즐}}) is a 2023 South Korean reality competition show created by Mnet. It premiered on Mnet on June 13, 2023, airing every Tuesday at 22:00 KST.{{Cite web|script-title=ko:엠넷 측 "'퀸덤 퍼즐' 올 상반기 방영 예정…이전 시리즈와 차별화"|trans-title=Mnet side "'Queendom Puzzle' launch, scheduled to air in the first half"|url=http://www.celuvmedia.com/article.php?aid=1674701563445433010|website=Celuv Media|language=ko|access-date=May 23, 2023}} The show concluded on August 15, 2023.
The show serves as a spin-off series of Queendom, however it does not share a similar format with the previous seasons, only taking the name of the series.{{Cite web |last=Jung-min |first=Yoo |date=April 10, 2023 |title='퀸덤' 시리즈 귀환…'퀸덤 퍼즐' 6월 방송 "걸그룹 개성·매력 재발견" |trans-title='Queendom' series returns...

Concept and format
On January 26, 2023, it was announced that the Queendom series would have a third season, but would be different from the previous two seasons.{{Cite web|script-title=ko:태연MC '퀸덤 퍼즐' 내달 13일 첫방|trans-title=The Taeyeon MC's 'Queendom Puzzle' first broadcast on the 13th of next month|url=https://newsis.com/view/?id=NISX20230519_0002309566&cID=10601&pID=10600|date=May 19, 2023|website=Newsis|language=ko|access-date=May 23, 2023}}
The show will focus on forming a global project girl group by taking members from currently active girl groups as well as solo female artists and piecing them together like a puzzle. It will take on a completely new format from the pre-existing Queendom series, with individual competitions taking place rather than team competition.{{Cite web|script-title=ko:새로워진 '퀸덤' 시리즈 컴백…'퀸덤 퍼즐' 6월 첫방|trans-title=The new 'Queendom' series comeback...

The Semi-Final voting assembly-choice voting began from July 4 to 7, 23:59 (KST), via the Mnet Plus application, where voters listen to snippets of three newly produced songs and for each song, they pick 7 contestants they want to put in. The three teams would then be formed based on the votes. Subsequently, elimination of 5 contestants would be conducted on Episode 7 (special live broadcast), followed by member adjustments to the teams, such that each song would only have 7 contestants. The eventual performances of the three songs would be held in the Semi-Final, which is Episode 9 (live broadcast).
Through live text votes in Episode 9, the winning team is decided. The members of the winning team would each get a benefit of 30,000 votes. Subsequently, 7 contestants would be eliminated.
