(Tucson, AZ) MegaMania—the annual all-ages, free summer festival of cosplay, gaming, crafts, local authors and artists, and all-around geekery—returns to the Pima Community College Downtown Campus on Saturday, July 19 from noon to 4 pm. If you only go to one event this summer, THIS should be the one!
Take photos with local cosplay groups, participate in role-playing adventure games, enjoy mini-tournament style gaming play, try an Escape Room, make a shield or lightsaber, get your face painted, and much more!
Please note, there are three Escape Rooms (Minecraft, Animal Crossing, Pokémon) and all require registration. These tend to fill up quickly, so please make sure to register noon to 12:15. The Escape Rooms allow six people per team for 20-minute gameplay. Participants must arrive at designated game time or will risk losing registered spots.
Don't miss!
