Game within a game

I'm curious to see if there will be a side event happening within PAX West this year. On my first visit(2012), my brother introduced me to an event where people wore a special badge on their arm with specific shapes, colors, and letters. When you registered for this event, you were sent a badge and a smaller card with a different set of parameters to find. If and when you found your target person, they were out and usually you would get a small swag bag from this person as your reward. The bags were custom built by the individual (usually up to $20 worth).

Sorry, it was loads of fun. I would like to see something like this again.

    That was "assassin's ball". It hasn't been around for a few years. No idea if it will come back

    I was completely unaware that this was a thing, but now I desperately want it to be! Not even to receive a swag bag; just to make one!

    It was run by Phillip Brady (MarsChelios), so my guess is that it would depend on his attendance and intentions. See the kickstarter (or one of them anyways) here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/marschelios/assassins-ball-at-pax-east-2015

    It was an amazing game, and I really appreciate Phillip Brady for taking the time to create it and have it at the con for the years that he did.
