Event Link

The World Turned Upside Down is a fast paced megagame of political unrest, international conspiracy, and the American Revolution. 60 players will take on the roles of famous lawmakers, generals, and spies of the period. Choose sides and guide your colony toward loyalty or rebellion. Your choices will decide the fate of America. The world will never be the same…

Players will become one of the famous figures of history in either the glorious British Empire or in the rebellious thirteen Colonies of America. In each round players decide which role is more important for them to fill at that time. You could begin your revolution in Congress, helping sway opinion (and funds) to your side. Soon afterwards you may be called back to your home to defend it as a Commander in the Continental Army. You decide how to best use your time throughout the game.

Please note: Lunch will be provided at this event. No outside food will be permitted at the venue. Players are encouraged to dress up in costume. However, we ask that any props remain to a minimum as the space is small. Weaponry, including swords and guns, are prohibitted.
