The Scavenger Hunt returns again for 2019, and this time the stakes are even higher.

The story begins at Opening Ceremonies (attendance is not required, don’t worry—a summary will be provided after), and then after 10AM on Friday go to www.sakuraquest.org/play and follow the clues around con to solve the mystery and get an exclusive mascot pin!

This is the attendee’s rare chance to meet up close with the Guests of Honor. You’ll be able to ask Guests questions in a more personal environment while enjoying a buffet style meal being provided by the hotel. Not only can you ask your favorite Guest of Honor questions about his/her work, but possibly get an autograph from them “after” everyone has eaten. This is a must not miss event that you can get in only by purchasing a special invitation! Reservations are extremely limited, and available through the Guest Reception page.

Sakura-Con’s 2019 Dance will be themed Welcome to the Jungle!

The Sakura-Con 2019 Guidebook is now available for download at:

Guidebook.com/g/sakuracon2019/

PDF Scheduled is available as well!

This is a multiple-choice, open-book, take-home quiz that begins on the Sakura-con site three weeks before the convention.

You can look up anything you want to get the answer. The questions are so hard that you probably will not know any of the answers from memory. Instead, you will need to do research into the real world of such topics as art, geography, history, literature, music, and science. Hopefully, this will give you a better appreciation of what goes on in anime and some of the hidden meanings behind the material.

Extremely Hard Take Home Anime Quiz 2019

Come one come all as night falls and the stars come out to play. And so do those steeped in night. The magic and the mystery that night brings causes those to dress in their finest wear and dance away.

From stars to the twinkling lights of the city, from the fae to those who still believe. Let them all dance away in a midnight reverie. Please join Sakura-Con as we present ‘Midnight Reverie’, the Masquerade Ball. For the first time, we present a gothic themed ball.

We encourage you to wear your best and darkest attire. We look forward to seeing you on Friday evening.
