While you are free to warp, fly, or teleport anywhere your heart desires, Sci-Fi Con 18 covers a massive expanse of the grid. To ensure you don’t miss a single hidden gem or high-tech merchant, we’ve installed several navigation aids to guide you through the timeline of science fiction.
Our Navigation Systems
- The “IKEA” Glowing Arrows: Just look down! We have embedded glowing neon arrows directly into the floors and pathways. Simply follow the light to be led on a curated tour through every sim, ensuring you see every booth from the Golden Age to the Cyberpunk future.
- Floating Messenger Bots: Keep an eye on the skies (and the street corners). Our automated Messenger Bots hover along the main thoroughfares. They provide helpful directions, event reminders, and can even offer a quick lore-dump about the “Era” you are currently traversing.
- Holographic Waypoints: At major intersections, you’ll find towering holographic pillars. These “You Are Here” markers project a 3D map of the immediate sector, highlighting nearby points of interest and the quickest route to the Maproom.
- Snoot-Scent Trails: For the more adventurous, look for the occasional shimmering “Snoot-trail” particles. These subtle visual cues often lead toward hidden installations, hunt locations, or special volunteer-run help desks.
Lost in Space?
If your sensors are scrambled and the arrows aren’t enough, don’t panic. Our Volunteers are stationed throughout the regions to get you back on track. Whether you’re looking for a specific merchant or the nearest stage for the Daily Highlights, just ask a crew member for the coordinates!
