Post by: zephyrzkingdom on August 23, 2009, 02:38:42 pm
Does anyone know about the cosplay hunt? Its like a scavenger hunt for people hunting down cosplayers...one of the staffers told me about it...how do I sign up to be the hunted?  :)

what it is, is that you agree to dressed up as a spec character all day, and you get special sickers and when people find you, you give them a sticker,
peeps signed up at the last meeting, i am not sure what her name was

I see. I'd love to sign up for this! 8D It would be nice if people could hunt down Geisha-roth, which is what I'll be for one day.
Is it possible to sign up online?

We are running the Cosplay Scavenger Hunt again this year.  If you are interested in being one of the 'huntees', email programming@kumoricon.org with what your cosplay is, and what day you are doing it.

Because people will be looking for you to complete their list, you will need to a) wear that cosplay for the majority of the day, and b) plan to be in and around con space (they can't look for you if you're in your room or on MAX on the way to the mall.)

We will contact you and let you know the particulars :)

I just sent in my e-mail, this should be cool!

I was involved in this once before at a convention a long time ago but it kinda went down before it started, so this should be loads of epic cosplay fun! xD

Hi guys,

We got quite the turnout (more than I expected, actually) :)  My wonderful assistant has compiled the list, and we will be emailing you soon to let you know if made the hunt or not.

Thanks for everyone who volunteered... we wouldn't be able to do this without you guys :)

Thanks! I hope I made it :3 If we did make it when do we pick up the stickers (or whatever) to show that we are the ones they are looking for?

Usually the day that you are being hunted, in the Programming Office (3rd floor)

What if we signed up in person. Me and my dad signed up at the last pre meet, and weren't told we needed to put our email.  So should I email the person running it or just go to programming and see on the day were signed up for hunting?
Thank you.

Thank you.

I wish I could help you, but if I were in your situation, I would email them now. And if you don't receive an answer (perhaps they're super busy!), then you should go to the programming office when you can. :)

I got an email the other day and will be participating as a huntee. Super stoked!

If you haven't received an email, please PM me or email programming@kumoricon.org.  The list was sent out a couple of days ago, but we might have missed someone.

Thanks

Alright now I'm curious.
Is there a time/place where people who want to do the 'hunting' can pick up whatever is needed to add their collected stickers to? (Some kind of score sheet I'm guessing?)
Do you have to preregister to be a hunter or can you just sign up as you arrive at the con?
If theres a page detailing this somewhere please inform me, it sounds fun and I've never heard of it...

from what I understand anyone can do it, I think they have the sheet at the info booth or something. Though i could be wrong >_>

is this going to be happening in 2010?
Title: Re: Cosplay Hunt?
Post by: Jamiche on October 15, 2009, 09:31:25 pm
That will be decided later in the year.  But odds are good.

Is there a way to give the participating cosplayers little buttons or something?  I tried this on Saturday, and ended up asking tons of people that weren't actually involved, which must have annoyed some of them if there were a lot of people in the scavenger hunt.  And I think I only found 3... didn't even know who half the characters were.  Most were nice enough to tell me what the character I wanted looked like, but that didn't help much since I didn't find them.;)

I helped out at the info booth this kumoricon and they had the sheets out on the table but no one seemed that interested or didn't know what to do with it... I would suggest something more efficient.

Well, others have been posting since KCOn '09.  Plus, there's been mention of it at the meetings.

It is happening, but I don't remember how to get a hold of the person who is running it. If she or someone who can get a hold of her don't see this by the meeting on Sunday I'll bring it up.
