We are happy to teach you any game that we have in our library, but we also have several featured games that we will schedule for demonstrations throughout the weekend. We also partner with indy developers to bring new gaming opportunities here to the show for you to experience for yourself! 

Game Demos

Escape Rooms in a Box

Want to challenge yourself and a group of friends? We have the entire collection of Unlock! games available in our library this year! These escape rooms in a box require a free app that you can download on your phone or tablet to plat and are a great way to pass an hour with some family or friends!

Just like regular board games - but BIGGER! Try your hand against a friend (or foe, we won’t judge) in giant chess or watch your hopes and dreams come crashing down with giant jenga. You thought normal-sized UNO was heated? Give the extra large version a go!

Video Game Tournaments

Video Game Tournaments: In our quest to find the elite gamers, tournaments will take place throughout the weekend. Sign-ups for all tournaments will be at the HQ table right inside the entrance to the ballroom.

​

Attendees can create their own tournaments ( as long as they do not interfere with official game room events). If you want to create and run your own tournament, sign up at the electronic gaming arena. 

 

All tournaments have a roll call to assure attendance. Please make sure to check in 5 minutes before the start of any event. If you show up late, you could lose your spot in the tournament. Don’t let that happen to you!

  • All tournament rules can be found at our website: www.NGAgamers.com

  • Have a question? Need help? Do not be afraid to ask Nexus Gaming Alliance staff members that will be on site. Just look for the branded NGA shirts.
