SPECIAL EVENTS
Experience Artemis
Be the crew, report to the bridge! Artemis is a cooperative Spaceship Bridge Simulator where players assume the roles of Captain, Helm, Science, Communication, Engineering, and Weapons officers. Together you operate your ship and defend the sector from enemy aliens.
It is a social game where players at different stations work together, performing different tasks on each bridge. The Captain doesn’t have a station but sees the big picture and makes decisions about what missions to undertake, what enemies to engage, and how to keep the crew alive. Good communication and teamwork are the keys to success!
Multiple bridges can participate together in cooperative, multi-ship missions. Each simulation runs 20-40 minutes. Play will be mostly drop-in, but you may contact Artemis staff to schedule a time slot for groups of 4-6 and special events.
Steel Batallion
Steel Battalion isn't your average "Vertical Tank" sim. It uses a Mega-Jockey-9000 with 44 input points, joysticks, throttle, radio dial, switches, an eject button, and 3 pedals. Yes, that’s a lot of real-estate and inputs for just one game – are you daring enough? Pilot one yourself at the show!
Foulplay Games presents: The Curious Carnaval! Murder Mystery
Join Foulplay Games for a pop-up magical circus murder mystery game, The Curious Carnival! Visit the Petrovic Family Circus where you will play as a suspect over 2 hours of mystery and intrigue to figure out whodunnit!. Not everything looks like it will be fun and games, though; rumor has it, not everyone is happy with the current ringmaster, and there are whispers of impossible feats outside the tents. And what of the gossip the circus is peddling more than entertainment? Discover friends and rivals while bribing and blackmailing other con attendees to find clues and gather information to solve the crime! Prizes and swag for participants and super sleuths!
