Hamburg, Germany, August 17th, 2023 – Polaris Convention has ambitious plans: In addition to the exciting three day-program and a fully playable convention, there will be an official world record attempt at the event in collaboration with TikTok as a sponsor. It is planned to assemble the most video game cosplayers in one place ever.
To break the current world record, established 2013 in Finland, more than 492 people in video game costumes have to hang out in the same spot for five minutes. A lofty goal, but not impossible to reach for the con’s gaming and cosplay-loving visitors! It doesn’t matter if the cosplay is hand-made or store-bought.
The official world record attempt is scheduled for Sunday, October 15th, 2023; potential participants can register now via Eventbrite. All participating cosplayers will receive an exclusive shirt as well as a certification of participation to remember the occasion.
“Cosplay and gaming were already two of the big highlights of last year’s Polaris Con. Combining the two this year, for this world record attempt, is a great opportunity that we have worked on with our partner TikTok for months already”, says Wolf Lang, CEO of Super Crowd. “We are looking forward to many registrations, in order for the world record attempt to become an unforgettable experience for all participants.”
Already, organizers Super Crowd and Hamburg Messe und Congress are happy about the great response to the convention: “The ticket sale is going very well, especially the Saturday is popular”, says Wolf Lang.
Polaris Convention takes place 13th to 15th of October 2023 in the Hamburger Messehallen. Exhibitors can sign up here. The ticket shopp is now opened.
