From classic titles to the wackiest party games, casuals and hardcore gamers alike can sit back and relax (or get their sweat on) in our gaming room. There are a variety of games that our team curates and brings each year, with some tournaments and events that happen each convention day!

Anthrocon streams many gaming events throughout the weekend for both video games and our Charity Poker tournament. Check the convention schedule for the full list and times of events.

Taking place in both digital and physical formats, this hybrid event maximizes global reach and onsite interaction. Selected participants will have the opportunity to showcase their games in person and online, competing for physical trophies and digital award laurels.
