Frequently Asked Questions

What is Unplugged and Why?
Unplugged is a tabletop and board gaming convention with a focus on relaxation and community.

Unplugged is an escape from larger conventions that can be overwhelming.

What type of room parties will be at Unplugged?
We are aiming for themed room parties serving Food&Drink. These room parties will be encouraged to follow the theme of Unplugged. The goal of room parties is to be a hangout place away from the main event. 

Why is it limited to 400 attendees?
The overall goal of Unplugged is to be relaxing and to make sure everyone has a place to comfortably exist. We limit tickets to prevent overcrowding. 

Will other groups be in the hotel?
Yes, we will have to co-exist with other groups, but we have the entire Cabana/Pool area to ourselves. While other hotel guests are allowed to use the pool, we will occupy every room and the event space around it.

Can I cosplay?
Of course! We love cosplay! We recommend wearing something comfortable. 

Are there any scheduled events?
There is no official schedule with the exception of trading card drafts and events. Everything is pick up and play!
