Four Weeks until the Exposition!

This is the LAST WEEK for room bookings, speciality tickets, and merchandise!

Only FOUR more weeks remain until the portals of time and space open to July 1893 and dimensions of the Chicago World’s Fair that only ever made it into a handful of history books that have long since been forgotten. Some say it never happened, some say the universe was ripped asunder; we shall find out soon enough . . .

The deadline for booking your rooms at the Exposition looms ever closer; the convention block closes Thursday May 8th.
VIP upgrade tickets continue to sell; get yours before they are gone.
We continue the fourth chapter of “The Curse of Cthulhu” mystery game as we draw closer to being immersed in the final chapter during the actual convention.
New and exciting presentations and workshops have been added to the weekend’s program, and the first draft of the schedule is now live!
ALL THE DETAILS BELOW . . .

Every week between now and the end of May 2025, we shall release another Clue Card to help you solve the mystery game that begins during Opening Ceremonies on Friday, May 30th, 2025.

Save these Clue Cards to a folder on your phone and prepare your investigation into our “Curse of Cthulhu” LARP Game.
