A Two Day Video Game Magic Convention
Happening in Outer Space
Time to Escape Reality
We designed a video game world - built to include the best parts of an in person magic convention - and put it in the coolest place we could think of: outer space.
Use the arrow keys to mingle around the virtual planet, hang out and jam with other magicians - or sit back and enjoy two full days of shows, lectures, panels, and so much more.
Oh and after the convention, all of the lectures, panels, and shows are recorded. So you can watch and re-watch them forever.
Get ready for mind-blowing magicians, non-stop jamming, interactive games, amazing prizes, and so much more... all happening live on your computer.
There's limited seats on this flight to space, and once they're gone...they're GONE.

2 Full Convention Days
48 hours of lectures, shows, panels, jams, adventures, and prizes alongside some of the world's best magicians. Just like a real magic convention but from the comfort of your own home.
Custom Virtual Planet
We've designed the perfect magic convention in space pixel-by-pixel.
It's packed with things to do including: a lecture hall, jam space, games, puzzles, and custom worlds we're excited to share.
Jamming and More Jamming
As you move closer to other attendees your camera fades into view.
That means you can talk face-to-face with everyone at the convention including our 20+ performers.
Yours Forever
We overstuffed the convention with things to do. But the good news is:
The convention doesn't end when the weekend is over.
We'll send you every lecture, panel and show to watch and re-watch forever. So sleep when you want
World Class Talent
With UnConventional.Fun IN SPACE we laugh at the idea of borders around the globe. MWAHAHAHA.
We've brought together our favourite performers, creators, magicians, and cardists, to share their worlds with all of you.
Play The Game
It looks like a video game. It smells like a video game. So we decided to make it one too!
UnConventional.Fun in space - is a playable video game with clues, and of course REAL WORLD PRIZES that we'll be sending to the winners.
You Have Questions?
We have answers!
How does it work?
Once you get your ticket, you'll get information about how it works sent right to your inbox.
That includes line up announcements, step-by-step tutorials and more.
Plus, before the start of the convention you're going to get a tutorial video teaching you how to use the platform.
All you have to worry about is getting excited.
Leave the complicated stuff to us.
How do I jam in an 8-bit world?
Great Question!
Even though the virtual world is 8-bit, the cameras are real!
Convention attendees fade into view as you get close to each other.
When you enter the lecture hall, all you can see is the lecturer's camera, but when you're jamming, you can see the webcams of everybody near you.
It's awesome!
What if I'm not available for the whole 2 days
Just like a real convention where you can escape to your hotel room, there will be places an UnConventional.Fun for you to log out and get some rest.
No matter if you're arriving early, leaving late, or just need to stretch... we've got you covered.
Can I use my phone/tablet?
You're going to need a Laptop or Desktop Computer. The UnConventional.Fun Software does not work on mobile.
Will the event be recorded?
YES AND NO.
Let me explain.
Unfortunately since the platform is a massive online world with hundreds of conversations it's impossible to record the jamming and interaction.
But - All of the lectures, panels, and shows actually happen on zoom and they will be recorded.
So every event you see on the schedule WILL be recorded and yours FOREVER.
But, the mingling around, making friends, jamming, and staying up late for hours sharing stories... That part only happens AT UnConventional.Fun in Space!
I'm bad with tech. Is this going to be hard?
Actually, it's incredibly simple. Log on, pick your character, and you're ready to go.
Plus, we're going to send out an easy step-by-step tutorial before the convention so you can learn exactly how it all works by the time you start.
Oh... and during the convention we'll have people available for tech support if you need any help or have any questions.
We thought of everything.
