Gen Con 2018

“The largest consumer hobby, fantasy, science fiction, and adventure game convention”, Gen Con is spoken of in awed whispers and excited proclamations of attendance.

While escape rooms lay on the edges of several of those categories, with lots of overlap, the escape room board games and cross-over of designers and enthusiasts is bringing Gen Con into the escape industry.

“Attend Gen Con to check out the massive vendor selection, try out incredible games, listen to authors, and so much more.
Gen Con is the quintessential “battleground” for all types of gaming for all ages. Attendees come to participate in RPGs, TCGs, card games, board games, live-action role-playing games (LARPs), True Dungeon, miniatures, video games and other computer games. There are also plenty of hobby-related events to enjoy, such as: The Family Fun Pavilion, a Costume Contest, game auction, the largest sci-fi and fantasy art show in the country, over 300 exhibitor booths, Authors’ Avenue, anime, SPA events, seminars, panels, and workshops, Training Grounds (an area dedicated for children), films, and more.”
