Geek.kon is pleased to have our fun and exciting boffer room back for 2016! This is the room where you can hit your<br />
friends, family, and random strangers without getting in trouble...with approved equipment of course.<br />
Once again you’ll have a chance to meet members of the local Belegarth chapter as they host the room.<br />
Have fun and we hope to see a ton of foam fighting.<br />
Kon.Quest<br />
Friday, 6:30PM – 11:00PM, Monona Room<br />
Saturday, 10:00AM – 10:00PM, Monona Room<br />
Kon.Quest is an event unique to Geek.Kon, offering something for every geek! The Quest consists of several dozen separate<br />
“challenges” for 1-5 players, each about 10-15 minutes long. Come and go as you please (with friends or by yourself)<br />
throughout Friday evening and Saturday. Do whichever challenges interest you most whenever they fit into your Kon<br />
schedule! We’ll explain everything you need to know.<br />
We have a huge variety of challenges. You might take a crack at one of our trivia sets, play our fast-paced “Fighter’s<br />
Guild” combat game, solve some word or logic puzzles, do some silly roleplaying, set off on a photo scavenger hunt, or<br />
challenge other players to a round of our own trading card game, Kon.Monsters!<br />
This year, players will be tasked with defeating some of those most notorious villains from all of geek fiction! Each time<br />
you complete a challenge, you’ll be awarded some loot cards. Some of these are powerups that can be used to give you<br />
a boost in future challenges, but others are these villains and the heroes who can defeat them. Collect a pair (villain and<br />
their nemesis) and turn them in to earn one point. At the end of the event on Saturday night, we’ll hold a prize drawing.<br />
Each point gives you one chance to win!<br />
