Welcome to the Illusion Horror Con 2025!
Thank you for joining us for the 3rd year of Illusion Horror Con!
This online con is a free-to-enter online convention supporting charitable causes, which will run from
Friday, December 5, 12:00 UTC | 07:00 EST, through
Sunday, December 7, 22:00 UTC | 17:00 EST.
Player signups open Sunday, November 9, 18:00 UTC | 13:00 EST, and close
Saturday, November 29, 23:59 UTC | 18:59 EST.
Comparable to other online conventions, we want to ensure equal game access across time zones. This will be done by assigning players to games using a lottery system rather than on a first-come, first-served basis.
Signing up for a game does not guarantee you a seat in that game but instead enters you in a draw for a seat.
The lottery results will be announced on Sunday November 30, 17:00 UTC | 12:00 EST,
ready for the start of the convention on Friday, December 5, 12:00 UTC | 07:00 EST.
The convention is organized on The Illusion Horror Con Discord server, with all information available in the
#2025-convention-schedule and #convention-news channels.
Joining Discord is necessary to participate, and players who are not part of the Discord server won't be entered into the lottery.
Should you require assistance at any point in the convention,
please do not hesitate to contact the Convention Staff by visiting the #tickets channel on the Discord server
and clicking the “Get a Support Ticket” button.
If you need more urgent assistance, such as a safety issue, please immediately contact @Convention-mods.
The Convention Staff is here to help and will happily answer any questions you may have.
We hope you have a great time!
The Illusion Horror & Con Team, Ryan, Crystal and David
IMPORTANT PLEASE NOTE:
If you have not joined The Illusion Horror Con Discord server by
Saturday, November 29, 23:59 UTC | 18:59 EST,
your signups will not be considered for the lottery draw.
