You read that right — your PAX badge saves you from endless amounts of quarters weighing down your pockets. Just walk up and start a new game in our room full of arcade games. Head down to Room 153AB to take advantage of every cabinet and deploy the absolutely sick combos to wreck your friends with.
Founded in 2003, Child’s Play provides games and technology to over 180 children’s hospitals worldwide. Be a gamer who gives back by supporting the official charity of PAX.
Find folks that share your love of a fandom, meet fellow cosplayers, and make new friends at the show with all the meetups taking place over the weekend!
Over the years we have collected an absolutely bonkers library of consoles and games, so we figured we might as well make them all available to attendees to play all show long.
Are you an avid cosplayer, excited to appreciate the cosplay of other avid fans at showcases, or interested in getting involved yourself? We’ve got meetups, panels, and a lounge with workshops you can explore while you’re at the show!
Welcome to the new cozy lounge at PAX! Introduced at PAX West in 2024, we’re bringing the chillest vibes we can to gaming stations with comfy seating so you can live your best cozy questing life.
The PAX Handheld Lounges are excellent places to take a break, relax your tired feet, and lounge around. Oh, and you can also play handheld games there.
The LANFest Charity Stream Zone is a dedicated space within the PAX East BYOC LAN, designed exclusively for creators to livestream, connect with their audiences, and support meaningful causes—all while being at the heart of one of gaming’s biggest events.
We’ve selected champions from the badge holders to compete against each other for your amusement, but beware, the road to the Final Round of the Omegathon is paved with tears and broken dreams. Nah, honestly it’s really great for everyone. See for yourself!
What happens when you bring the world’s most competitive gamers together and pit them against each other for fame, glory, and cold hard cash? Let’s find out!
Not all developers are in a position to show off their latest and greatest to PAX attendees. Enter the PAX Rising Showcase, giving even the smallest indies a chance to stand next to the AAA’s and show off their games at PAX.
PAX Together is a program which celebrates diversity and underrepresented groups both at PAX and in the gaming community at-large. PAX believes that games should be for everyone and made by anyone. Whether you're here to meet old friends or find new faves, we aim to have something for everybody.
Each PAX has a series of features for those who have activated their badges including the Arcadia scavenger hunt, instant win prize towers, photo stations, and more.
Bring in your personal computer to have available throughout PAX, or play on our computers already loaded with an array of the best LAN games we can find.
Pinny Arcade is an ecosystem of pins you can collect or trade with attendees, Enforcers, and staff members throughout PAX. Get started with your collection a variety of ways— including at the Official PAX Merch Booth.
Meet and greet or greet and meet (your choice) talented creators in Bandland, a series of merch vendors supporting bands performing at PAX, artists and other content creators you may recognize from That Thing You Like.
From board games to card games, we’ve got you covered. Find hundreds of tables and a bag of holding worth of lending library titles you can check out and play for yourself at the show!
The Take This AFK Quiet Room is a place to regain your calm and take a break from the hustle of the show. Brought to you by our friends at TakeThis.org
