Our next Cosplay & Chill will be the Official After Party of FAN EXPO Cleveland. With a LIVE DJ, games, trivia, and more, LET’S GLLOOOW!
We’ll have a live DJ, music (of course! I mean, what’s the DJ gonna do all night, right?), light snacks, and more gaming in one space than you can imagine! We have a few surprises to hit you with that night, too, but to make it special, upon entry, you will be able to grab yourself some complimentary glow pieces such as glasses, bracelets, rings, and more, plus a raffle ticket for our prize giveaways. From there, enjoy the open gaming on select titles and stations, join the cosplay contest, play in our trivia party, and rock out to some tunes! Of course, feel free to make some new friends, invite some old ones, and game the night away!
Feel free to wear a cosplay costume and/or bring your own glow items!

COSPLAY & CHILL
Join us for a night of music, gaming, and cosplay in the lounge! Gaming stations will be available to play the most popular titles, plus, CandiBee Parties will be in the building and hosting a Cosplay Contest and Trivia night! Each event features a new theme, so the excitement keeps coming! Only $25 gets you in the door. You’ll get a raffle ticket for a chance to win a 1Life2Play Swag Pack to be raffled off at the end of the night (additional tickets can be purchased).
Step into the lounge for cosplay fun!
Admission includes entry and gaming on available stations. Gaming is first come, first play. During Cosplay & Chill nights, a curated selection of games are available on console and may include Game Pass titles. All games are available on PC but may require a free game account to access which can be made in the launcher for the game you wish to play by using your email address.
You must sign up to participate in either the Cosplay Contest or Trivia once you arrive at the venue.
