Hi friends!

The Gaming Room at Further Confusion is looking to expand its offerings of tournaments and game sessions. If you're interested in hosting an event, let us know early so we can work out space and equipment considerations. Morning and night timeslots will be open.

Due to new policy changes with our hotel partners, we unfortunately can’t host the party floor this year.

We know this is disappointing, but we’re working hard to bring late-night programming & alternative events so FC still has plenty to enjoy.

Hi friends!

We just wanted to provide clarification! The adult vendors area is our new adult vending space.

This will run during normal Dealers Den hours. This is a separate, ID-required area!

The main Den remains all-ages. This will simply be an extra space for adult-themed vendors & attendees.
