Cosplay Chess

We’re excited for the return of Cosplay Chess. It’s bigger and more accessible than ever!

We’ve redesigned our setup so that it is wheelchair and crutch friendly. Plus the board itself is bigger so you don’t have to worry about your costume invading your board neighbor’s space!

We will be selecting 4 teams from our sign ups. Each team will be made up of 4 cosplayers. Have fun with your team! You can cosplay Naruto characters and be Team Uzumaki clan, The Emotions TM from Inside Out, or even the famous band Kiss. Oops all Jinxs? The world is your oyster!

Rounds 1 and 2 will pit two teams against each other in the classic Family Feud style. The final round will have the two winning teams from rounds 1 & 2 fight for the win. The winners of round 3 will be our champions and will receive a fun little prize!
