Hello everyone!
We are about two weeks away from Mysterium and there are only a few days left to pre-register online. Can you believe it? Are you excited?
Before you hit the road, we’ve outlined some important information for you to know.
Escape Room Assignment Survey
If you’re participating in our escape room excursion and haven’t already done so, please check the email you used to register for a survey invitation from us. Your responses will be used to assign you to rooms, plan for transportation needs, and distribute liability waivers.
We’ll begin reviewing responses on Sunday, July 20th. Please complete the survey by then.
Enjoying Mysterium in Atlanta
Atlanta is unquestionably hot at this time of year. This week, high temperatures reached the mid-90°F range with a high heat index. We strongly encourage you to bring a hat; an insulated, refillable water bottle; and sunscreen. Water stations will be available within the convention space for your convenience.
Badge Pickup, Registration, and Swag Flow
Badge pickup, registration, swag pickup, and swag sales will open in phases, as outlined below. These times may change; refer to the schedule for the most recent information. All registration or swag-related activity will occur either outside or inside the Piedmont Ballroom.
| Pre-Registered Badge Pickup | Pre-ordered Swag Pickup | Walk-in Registration | On-site Swag Sales | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Thursday, 7/31 at 8 PM | Open | Closed | Closed | Closed |
| Friday, 8/1 at 9 AM | Open | Open | Open (See Below) | Closed |
| Friday, 8/1 after Opening Ceremonies | Open | Open | Open | Open |
On Friday morning at 9 AM, there will be two lines to enter Piedmont Ballroom. If you already picked up your badge on Thursday night, use the right line. If you still need to pick up your badge, use the left line. Regardless of which line you are in, you will be able to show your badge and pick up pre-purchased swag at the swag table.
Walk-in registrations will open after we have checked in lined-up, pre-registered attendees.
Georgia Aquarium Experience and Policies
If you are joining our Georgia Aquarium excursion, know that the experience is indoors, though some outdoor walking will be required if you are planning to travel via MARTA. Using MARTA is encouraged to avoid downtown congestion.
The Georgia Aquarium only permits outside food and beverage for children or individuals with allergies. Refillable water bottles are encouraged for everyone and may be filled at a number of stations around the aquarium.
For more information, we recommend reviewing the “Need to Know” section at the bottom of this page.
Creativity Prompt
June’s Creativity Prompt winner was redwoodrroad’s envisioning of Gehn’s beach day.
Submissions are still being accepted for this month’s topic, “End of Ages.” Send them in on Discord!
The Committee truly cannot wait to see everyone! This has shaped up to be a fantastic year and we hope you enjoy some leisure, puzzles, and laughs amongst friends.
This will likely be our last post before the convention begins. If you’re attending and aren’t already part of our Discord server, now is a great time to join! Be sure to mark that you’d like to receive on-site announcements in the “Channels & Roles” section so you can get important information as it becomes available.
Safe travels, everyone. We’ll see you shortly!
