Who are we?

We’re the members of the McPherson College Social Games Club, our alumni, faculty, and friends. Our club started in 2019 and even that early we daydreamed about how wild it might be if we could hold our own gaming convention on campus. We started seriously researching the possibility in 2022. We started hosting small gamefests which got progressively larger as we felt more confident. Our goal was to be ready to include the new Wise Campus Commons for our event and now we are here!

We are exceptionally lucky to have the support of McPherson College, the Village Geek, and the community of McPherson. Their generosity with time and space allows us to keep our costs low, which will allow more guests to join us. We hope you will be one of them!

Events will be held at Wise Campus Commons (1 on the map), Mingenback Theater, (3) and Friendship Hall (5).
