Fuzzy Logic Escape Room

12:00pm - 8:30pm Hilton: Escape Room (Plaza)

An Escape Room is like a real life video game puzzle room - teams of up to 8 people will solve puzzles and unlock prized containers by using clues, hints, and tools that everyone finds around the room before the 60-minute timer runs out! Two duplicate rooms are available, so groups of up to 16 can split up to race against each other for a faster time! This year's theme: Your team is a party of heroes looking to be able to advance through a gauntlet of puzzles with an ultimate goal of defeating the skull king while it has been locked down in this reality! You only have one hour before the entrance to your quest crumbles to rubble and the skull king flees to another dimension! Do you have what it takes to win? Entry fee $20 per person - and part of ticket sales will go to the convention's charity! Email [email protected] if you have any questions!

My Little Pony: What is it, why is it so popular, and why is it so important?

1:00pm - 2:30pm Marriott: Second Stage (Salon I-II-III)

October 10, 2010 was an interesting day. It was the first day the current generation of My Little Pony aired - called Friendship is Magic - and it inspired a rabid and wild fan base of people who are out to 'Love and Tolerate you to death'. Occasionally we get asked 'Why are you guys fans of a little girls show?'. The show certainly has a fan base of strange characters - like any fan base does - but what draws them to the herd? Why do they take so much inspiration and solace from the show? What is themes does the show have that draws them in? In this panel we examine some of those aspects, with stories from the fans, examples from the show, and personal anecdotes from our own experienced in an effort to share the magic we've experienced as part of the Brony Community, and why many Bronies view that community as separate from furry.
