Detroit's { Anime / Manga / Gaming / J-Music } Experience
Events
Maid Cafe
This otaku attraction commonly seen in anime and J-dramas such as "Densha Otoko" has been brought to the States by Youmacon! Be welcomed into a cafe-style setting Friday evening of the con and be served in style by our very own maids and munch on pastries and drinks with our guests.
To reserve a spot in the first hour of the Maid Cafe where you can meet and hang out with our guests, you must do one of two things: purchase a Platinum membership badge, or purchase a reservation for $10 at the convention's cosplay signup table. Space is limited, so please make sure that if you want in, you don't waste time signing up. For the latter part of the cafe, there will be no charge to enter, but there is no guarantee you will meet a guest at that time either.
Cosplay Shougi
A unique cosplay event in which 40 cosplayers will get a chance to be a game of Japanese chess. Two shougi players will be selected prior to the convention to face off against one another. Then the cosplayers follow their moves on a life-size shougi board. Watch as the cosplayers role-play their characters and battle against each other in determining the shougi champion!
Live Action Mario Party
Everyone's favorite party game come alive! The audience is divided into four teams, and one player from each team will be selected to compete in a battle to be the Youmacon Star! Move around the board, collect items, play minigames, and call on your teammates for help! Warning: Mayhem will most likely ensue.
Mario Party After Dark
Everyone's favorite party game come alive...? Four teams compete against each other for the Youmacon Star...but late at night you have to watch out for tentacles, Pyramid Head, zombie rape, and rabid yaoi fangirls...Mature Content! 18 and over only.
Royal Masquerade Ball
You are cordially invited for a grand evening of music and refreshments. Dress in your classiest attire or a formal cosplay creation and ballroom dance for charity. Patrons are encouraged to wear masks and have the most regal Youmacon ever!

Bring a friend up there with you for kicks! It's all for fun so no need to be shy, give it your best shot!
