This is not your typical pageant. Who needs tiaras and ball gowns when there's chainmail and laptops? Come join our contestants as they prove just how Geeky they are. Audience participation is a must. This event contains cosplay, there may be some profanity and depictions of violence. Some materials may not be suitable for children. Parental Guidance is therefore suggested.
Have you never entered a pageant because your talents donât include singing or dancing? Who needs tiaras and ball gowns when there's chainmail and laptops? This event is one part cosplay, one part trivia, and all Geek. This after all is not your typical contest. Pageant princesses need not apply.
Led by our intrepid zombie wanglers Shaun and Ed, participants will walk, shamble and moan in a semi-orderly fashion through the streets of Indy. Zombie makeup and attire optional but strongly encouraged. All ages are welcome to join us at this free event.

Description:
Wondering what to do during those hours before onsite registration starts? Want to enjoy a little fun in the sun? Well, we’ve got the answer for you.

A game of paranoia, deception and mob rule. A mind game for 8-15 players per village. Each vengeful group of villagers must figure out who among them is a secret werewolf before it's too late! Each "night" the werewolves eat a villager, and each "day" the surviving villagers try to rid the town of werewolves by lynching one of their own. Will the werewolves take down all the villagers? Or will the villagers cleanse their town? Only time can tell!
Why are they Nordic? CAUSE THEY ARE HUGE!! (They're also fuzzy, but that's neither here nor there.) This fast paced physical game has you throwing the dice in order to get the highest score (determined by the length you throw times the number rolled on the die). Player gets two throws each time they go through the line. Prizes will be awarded to the top 3 players!
