Daytime Events

Middle Ground

The Main Stage in Florentine C & D is ground zero for all of our off-track activities. Ongoing announcements, music, and other surprises will happen throughout the conference. Stop in and relax, talk with your friends, visit our sponsors, or just enjoy the music.

Lock Pick Village

Want to try your hand at the art of lockpicking? Come visit the Lockpick Village! We bring the locks and picks. All you’ll need is a sense of curiosity. We’ll also have contests and beginner sessions on both days of the conference. All skill levels are welcome, as volunteers will be on hand to help you get started. Beginner sessions will be held at 11:30 each day. If you’re feeling competitive, drop by for one of the contests held at 16:00 daily!

Crypto Adventure

Choose Your Own Crypto is Back!

Dive into the shadowy depths of mystery and adventure with “The Eldritch Archives.” As an intrepid investigator at Miskatonic University, you’re handed three enigmatic case files, each leading you on a journey through the forgotten corners of the twisted city.

Will you tackle the eerie whispers of the easy case, guided by the wise Professor Alaric Thorne? Or perhaps you’ll brave the intermediate file, where every choice could lead you deeper into the occult’s clutches? For the truly daring, the advanced file promises the greatest treasures—and the gravest dangers—hidden in the cursed ruins of R’lyeh.

Each decision shapes your fate as you uncover ancient secrets, confront eldritch horrors, and pursue untold treasures. The paths are many, the outcomes uncertain—will you emerge victorious, or will you be claimed by the darkness?

Prepare yourself. The Eldritch Archives await. A person in a trench coat holding a flashlight and standing in front of a stone structure
