Event Info
VIP Game Party Friday Night
If you have a VIP badge, you will be invited to attend the special VIP party at the game library on Friday, November 6 from 6-8pm. This event will include drinks (with beer and wine for 21+), snacks, and a facilitated social deduction game called Blood on the Clocktower (limited to 20 people). Other games will also be available. We hope to see you there!
Hosted game signups now open!
Hosted games (facilitated board games, roleplaying games, etc.) are available to sign up for prior to the convention and will remain open until filled or the hosted game starts. Attendees can also join a variety of drop-in games or just grab a game from our library and start playing!

Fun for all ages
This event is open to everyone. Children 12 and under can attend free with an adult badge holder. Please keep in mind that many games are geared toward older school-aged children, youth, and adults. However, the library does have kids' games along with an awesome play area with toys! Youth and children may attend the VIP event with an adult VIP badge holder. Children 12 and under must be accompanied by an adult during the event.
Game hosts
Game hosts (a.k.a. "game masters") are the backbone of any game convention. These volunteers willingly share their love of gaming with other attendees and help us all have a great time!
NOTE: Hosted game submissions have closed. We appreciate everyone who has submitted a game for our first event. We are working to get the remaining submissions added in the order they were received.
Extensive library of games available!
This convention will take place in the huge hallway area outside the Toy, Game, and Puzzle Library, which has 1,000+ toys, games, and puzzles. Attendees can play any of the library's games while at the convention.

About badge sales and pickup
Please be aware that all badge sales are final. Badges can be picked up at either the Friday night VIP event (for VIP badge holders only) or when you check in at the convention on Saturday. Badges can be purchased at any time up until the event ends. If you lose a badge, please alert a volunteer.
Get involved
If you would like to help out, we'd love to have you! All TGPL volunteers get 50% off a badge. Anyone helping with the convention for at least three hours can attend for free. Email info@tgplibrary.org or speak to a TGPL volunteer for more info.
