Masked Ball
Welcome to the Queen Protectorate’s Annual Ball on the Dirigible Anavoria. Tonight a new Queen will be crowned; but will she survive the machinations of the myriad parties who wish to have her power? With Animorphs, Vampires, Witches, Warlocks, Elementals (to name a few), and the acting Regent all willing to do anything it takes to further their interests; blood may be shed. A murder mystery set in a steampunk world of magic and mechanics. The event is formal dress, and appropriate decorum is to be exercised around members of the court. Entry Donation for Geek.Kon Attendees is $5 or 6 canned goods; for Walk In Guests it's $10 or 8 canned goods. This is a masked event; masks may be purchased at the door for $5.

Spooktacular Maze
Returning to Geek kon 2016, now with noted improvements both from the running group and advice taken from last years participants! We welcome you to the Geek Kon’s exclusive haunted maze, presented by SpicyRabbitProductions. Prepare for another Night at Fazbear Fright! There will be familiar faces abound as well as a few strangers, this experience is sure to bring you back to your innocent days of pizza and party games.

This year we will feature two different run throughs; A Day Mode and a Night Mode. All ages are welcome to join in the day mode run where participants can interact with their favorite characters without fear of the dark or intention of jump scares. Day Mode is intended to be just a fun experience for even the smallest FNAF fan. This will be held right before the main event: Night Mode.

The Night Mode run will have the full haunted maze experience of lights off, creepy aesthetic and animatronics shambling about. Animatronics will be waiting at every twist and turn to terrify those brave enough to enter. Along with our crisped animatronic actor's, secret prizes are hidden throughout the maze for those bold and swift enough to find them. Keep your eye’s glued to the cameras, oh, and don’t forget about that ventilation! We’ll see you at Fazbear Fright's Grand opening!
