Arlington GameFest 2024

Welcome to GameFest! Here’s a quick guide to help you have a great experience at the event:

1. Busy Atmosphere & Noise Levels
   GameFest is expected to be a lively event, with many visitors and gaming activity. You may encounter elevated noise levels, especially in the open gaming area in the auditorium.

2. Open Gaming Area
   The open gaming area in the auditorium will be available throughout the event from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. If you find it too crowded or noisy, feel free to take a break and return later, or explore other quieter gaming spots on the library’s 1st floor.

3. Sign-Ups for Game Teaching Room & D&D Bite-Sized Adventures
   Spots in the Game Teaching Room and for D&D bite-sized adventures will fill up quickly. If you’d like to participate in these activities, be sure to arrive early to sign up!

4. Games from Personal Collections
   All games provided during GameFest come from personal collections generously loaned for the event. These games do not belong to the library, so please treat them with care. To help keep them clean and in good condition, we ask that you avoid food or drinks (other than water) near the game tables.

5. Food & Drink Breaks

   Be sure to take breaks for snacks and hydration! The Friends of the Arlington Library (FOAL) will have snacks available for purchase outside the auditorium. Additionally, the Sugusto food truck will be parked onsite from 11:00 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., offering a selection of food and drinks.

   A water station is located in the auditorium hallway near the vending machines and restrooms—bring a refillable water bottle to stay hydrated throughout the event.

6. Sensory Room
   For attendees with sensory needs, we have a sensory room available (Wilson Room) with limited tables and seating. This space offers a quieter environment for anyone who may need it.

Arlington GameFest values and fosters a safe, friendly, and positive environment that welcomes everyone. In addition to the Library Rules, the following event etiquette guidelines must be followed:

• Respect personal space and avoid physical contact.
• No uninvited personal questions, comments, or jokes about politics, religion, race, or sexuality.
• Refrain from criticism or judgement of other players choices.
• Table host settles any rule disagreements.
• Limit electronic distractions to be present and engaged.
