Playthrough abides by all state, local and government regulations in regards to Covid. Wake County has lifted the mask mandate. Masks are not required but recommended for anyone at risk. If you are sick, stay home.

Playthrough also has a set of rules and policies about harassment, stealing, and other issues. Please read more about them at our Rules of Playthrough page. These rules must be followed at all times while at the Playthrough Gaming Convention. Any questions should be addressed to Support@playthroughgc.com.

Details regarding tournaments, panels, and all that other jazz are still being put together and we will have more details soon. The best way to get updates is to follow us on Twitter and Facebook, as well as joining our mailing list. Are you as excited as we are?

Playthrough requires a lot of help in order to keep everything moving at a fast and steady pace. These behind the scenes operations that make it all possible are performed by NPCs who give their time to make it all possible. Just like many games, without the NPC, the entire thing would fall apart.

First off - You're AWESOME!

Second - NPC Registration can be found on our NPC Sign-ups Page which will be up soon.

Thank you so much! We love you.

Absolutely! Cosplay enriches the overall atmosphere of the convention. We encourage anyone willing to come in costume. We even have a fantastic Cosplay Contest!!!! For rules on that head over to our Cosplay page.

Weapon checks will be performed prior to admittance. The following are not permitted -

• *Cannot fire any sort of projectile

• *Cannot be an airsoft weapon, even if deactivated

• *Cannot have a sharp or pointy edge, which includes but is not limited to, swords, knifes, daggers, needles, syringes, ect.

• *Must comply with local weapon laws

All of our panels and tournaments will be held on our main stage, and in the tournament area, which you can find in our event booklet. Check back later for an updated schedule.

Playthrough is a public event and we welcome the usage of photography. Unless otherwise specified, you are welcome to take pictures or videos. If someone does not want their picture taken then please respect them and don't be a jerk.

All of the details can be found on our travel page. You'll be able to see a list of hotels and parking in the area, as well as an interactive map! Well it's not really an interactive map, it's a link to an interactive map. But the map is pretty cool.
