We, including staff, are ALL guests at this location. Do not break or take anything from the property. Please stay in designated areas.Respect our staff/cosplayers
We worked really hard to bring you a great event. Please exercise patience and understanding toward staff as we try to guide you through the event. Don't forget to read the rules on Interacting with Cafe Cosplay Staff (our cast) below.Keep things light & friendly
We ask everyone in attendance to act responsibly and respectfully as we want everyone to be safe. Do not come to the event intoxicated. If there are reports of inappropriate conduct, the offending parties will be asked to leave and will be barred from future events.No filming, ask for photos
There will be no filming at the event unless you have been given prior permission (ex. you are our dedicated videographer, were asked to film a tiktok, etc). If you take photos, please ask first (make sure you've also asked any attendees who might be in the photo as well).Please pay attention to the following if cosplaying:
Please refrain from cafe outfits if cosplaying LADS. If you're bringing any props, please have them checked at registration, no real weapons just common sense
interacting with cafe cosplay staff
While our staff is great at portraying their character, please understand that it is just acting.If you have a request for any sort of interaction, please refer to the Cosplay Interaction Menu.
Those under the age of 18 may only attend the event with permission from their parent or guardian. Underage guests will be permitted to enter, but cannot participate in any staff or cosplayer interaction that involves role-play flirting or physical touch, such as hugs or kabedon, even with the guest's consent. Underage guests can still experience all activities, themed food/drink and regular conversation with cosplayers.If you ask for personal information from our staff, expect an in-character answer. "Zayne, where you do live?" >"Linkon City"
sitting at the cafe
Only Unicorn VIPs and Sr. Hunters will be able to sit in the
dedicated cafe.The Unicorn VIP area consists of 3 tables with Zayne, Rafayel, and Xavier being the primary server of one table each. The Sr. Hunter table is one long table.Sylus, who has his own special area in the cafe, is also available to interact with you. You can visit his area or he may come over to your table!Unicorn VIP tables, the Sr. Hunter table, and Sylus’ area are next to each other. If they are able and as they see fit, our Cafe Cosplay Staff will float between tables.IMPORTANT We cannot guarantee specific interaction outside of your primary server as it would be highly dependent on how busy or available the other Cafe Cosplay Staff is. So if you’re at Zayne’s table, for example, and want to see Xavier, you may want to try calling out to him or approaching him after the serving/eating period is over.Thank you for your understanding, we look forward to your attendance!

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I bring freebies to give to other attendees? About how many attendees will there be?
Yes, please feel free to bring freebies to share with others. Thank you for your generosity! We've estimated there will be about 100-130 attendees, staff, and volunteers throughout the whole duration of the event but you may only run into at most 80 other people in the venue at any given time.
What sort of interactions can I request from Cafe Cosplay Staff?
Please refer to the Cosplay Interaction Menu
What if I'd prefer not to receive certain interactions from Cafe Cosplay Staff?
Sr. Hunters and Unicorn VIPs should choose the applicable level of interaction from the 2.0 Form emailed to them. If you've changed your mind, please let the front desk/Registration know so we can give you the correct wristband.
If I'm not one of the Cafe Cosplay Staff playing the roles of Xavier, Rafayel, Zayne, or Sylus can I still cosplay one of the boys?
We're allowing additional cosplay of the boys. We simply ask that you refrain from wearing cafe-themed outfits. Cafe Cosplay Staff will further be designated with a special nametag/pin still to be determined.
Can I cosplay characters not from the game?
Yes, any series is allowed!
Can I bring outside food/drink?
Yes, just please be mindful of trash and spills!
Which ticket tiers are able to order from the food/drink menu?
Unfortunately, as of 07/14, to make things easier on our staff (they're working very hard), we've decided to limit the food/drink menu only to Unicorn VIPs and Sr. Hunters. Thanks for your understanding!
How limited are the higher-tier tickets?
We currently have alloted 30 total Unicorn VIPs and 20 Sr. Hunters and are sold out!
Why does the new batch of Civilian Tier tickets (free) have timeslots?
We are opening up a very limited amount of additional Civilian tier tickets (free), but for specific time slots only. It’s been so exciting to see the amount of interest in our event, and we will be keeping this in mind when we plan any future events.
What is a "cafe sitdown timeslot"?
We will have exclusive seating for Unicorn VIPs and Sr. Hunters for the dedicated cafe portion of the event serving food/drink in two separate timeslots, 12pm-2pm and 3pm-5pm. During this time, these ticket tiers will receive cosplayer interaction! Our serving staff will be taking a break inbetween timeslots.
How long will I have to wait in line to enter?
There will be a queue for Unicorn VIPs and Sr. Hunters to enter but we are not expecting a long wait for those tiers as they have priority to enter. Due to the venue's limited capacity, the Hunter tier may experience some waiting time and free tier is expected to have a wait to enter if the venue is full. We will let in those in the free tier line once others have left and there is more physical space to enter. We appreciate your patience toward our commitment to the safety of others!
Will people under the age of 18 be able to attend?
You may attend the event with permission from your parent or guardian and you will be permitted to sitdown at the dedicated cafe but you will not be able to receive any interaction from cosplayers besides cordial/group interaction (being served your food, regular conversation, etc. rather than a hug, flirty conversation, kabedon, etc).
How will Sylus be part of this cafe?
You'll be able to interact with Sylus! However, he unfortunately will not have his own VIP table unlike the original three (Rafayel, Zayne, Xavier), be a part of merch, letters, activities, and add-ons due to timeline restraints. Thank you for your understanding.
Besides the polaroid, can I take photos at the event? How about videos?
There will be no filming allowed. If taking photos, please make sure to ask cosplayers and other attendees (who might be in the shot) first.
What is the pre-sale Unicorn VIP handwritten letter?
We recently announced that ALL unicorn VIPs who buy their tickets ahead of time (instead of at the door) will receive a handwritten letter / invitation keepsake written by a character of their choice (Xavier, Rafayel, or Zayne). This will NOT be sold at the merch shop. Thank you for your early support, it helps us plan out a great event.
