Cosplay Chess

Step onto the battlefield and bring your favorite character to life in Cosplay Chess! Players will take on the roles of chess pieces, moving across a giant board and engaging in dramatic, in-character battles—no chess experience required!

How It Works:

  • Cosplayers will be assigned a chess piece and move accordingly.
  • When an opponent’s piece is taken, players will act out a battle scene—but remember, NO physical contact is allowed.
  • Costumes can be changed if needed before the deadline.

Sign-Ups & Rules:

  • Limited to 32 spots—first come, first served! Backup spots will be available if players drop out.
  • All props/weapons must be approved and pass a safety check.
  • Opening speeches are required (3-5 sentences introducing your character). Assistance is available if needed.
  • Check-in is 30 minutes before the panel starts. If you cannot make it, email or message the host at ddmillerpc@gmail.com.
  • Costume size is limited—you’ll be standing in a 3ft x 3ft square.

Important Dates:

  • Sign-up changes (including costume updates) close at midnight on May 26.
  • Confirmation emails will be sent within 48 hours of signing up.

Want to help out? Players arriving early can assist in setting up the board. Accommodations are available for those needing mobility assistance—just let us know in advance!
