Ropecon with children

Ropecon is an excellent event for the whole family. For example, Experience Point features lots of family-friendly games, and many lectures at Ropecon are also suitable for audiences of all ages. In addition to games, something exciting and interesting is also sure to be going on at the exhibition area or at the foam weapon fighting and steel weapon demonstration areas. Our staff members at the board game library will gladly help you find games suitable for children or for the whole family, and there are many more exciting finds to be made at the Vendor Hall.

Child-friendly and family-friendly program

Almost all program items featured at Ropecon are suitable for children to participate in. However, a few program items may have an age limit. When applied, age restrictions are clearly marked in program descriptions found in the online program guide. Descriptions also disclose if the program includes any loud noises or flashing lights that might be scary for children. However, parents are ultimately the experts in judging whether or not a certain program is suitable for their children.
