Welcome to Game-iToba, Winnipeg’s new gaming convention. Get to know us a little better by reading all about us and our mission.
If you came to Game-iToba 2019, we would love your feedback https://forms.gle/jVtuuNuQDZsar5LT8.
For up to the minute news, events and information be sure to follow us on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook.
Check out this message from the Keycon 2020 Con Chairs:Hello everyone,
First we would like to take a moment to acknowledge that Keycon takes place on Treaty 1 territory, traditional lands of the Anishinabe (Ojibway), Ininew (Cree), Oji-Cree, Dene, and Dakota, and is the Birthplace of the Métis Nation and the Heart of the Métis Nation Homeland.
Our theme for this year was worldbuilding, and we never imagined having to face the difficult decision of cancelling the physical convention. Unfortunately, a pandemic is not something we could have predicted when we started this journey.
We know how much this convention means to so many of us, and although it does feel a little bittersweet not being at The Radisson this weekend, we decided to give everyone something for our community and we, instead, built an online world.
We know these are difficult time for us all, and we hope #VirtualKeycon will do something to help fill this void that has been left.
We'd also like to take a minute to acknowledge the financial strain this has put on many of our local businesses, authors, creators and charities. Please try to take a moment to support them in any way you can, if you are able.
Our Charity for this year is Rainbow Resource Centre, we've added a link on our website to donate directly to them.
Thank you to everyone who has worked hard to help make this happen, and we hope you find enjoyment this weekend. Sending love from our family to yours!
Your Keycon 2020 Chairs,
Carol and Katie

Why are these games so soothing right now?Check out these awesome free activities and print to play games (Unstable Unicorns, Runes & Regulations, Llamas Unleased, and Exiled Legends) thanks to TeeTurtle: #socialdistancingThis is a really strange time for a lot of people. There’s a lot to feel anxious about, and the social distancing that is so important to keep us safe can feel really lonely. That’s why we created a place where we can all be alone together! We’re posting activities, print-and-play games, and other fun stuff to keep you entertained during your time at home. Use #TeeTurtleTogether to share pictures of what you're doing to have fun and help us all stay connected! ❤
