The Side Quest

Side Quest - Capital City Comic Con 2026

How It Works

The Side Quest is a free, interactive scavenger-hunt-style experience included with your convention badge. Here's how to play:

🎲

1. Pick Up Your Card

Grab a Side Quest card when you arrive. It lists every participating vendor and their quest activity.

🔎

2. Find the Vendors

Look for booths with a helium balloon — that's your sign they're a Quest Stop!

3. Complete the Quest

Each vendor has a quick, fun activity: trivia, a dice roll, rock-paper-scissors, a riddle, and more.

🎫

4. Collect Your Sticker

Finish the activity (or just ask!) and the vendor will stamp or sticker your card.

🏆

5. Win Prizes

Fill rows or complete the whole card to unlock prize tiers. Turn in your card at the prize booth!

Side Quest Rules

A few things to keep in mind while you're questing:

No Purchase Required

You never have to buy anything to participate. Every quest activity is completely free.

Quick & Easy Activities

Every quest is designed to be fast and fun — nothing complicated, nothing physical.

Everyone Gets a Sticker

Even if you don't "win" the activity, the vendor will still give you a sticker. No one walks away empty-handed.

No Leaving & Returning

Vendors won't ask you to leave their booth and come back later. Each quest is completed on the spot.

One Card Per Attendee

Each badge-holder receives one Side Quest card. Guard yours — it's your ticket to prizes!

Have Fun!

The Side Quest is all about discovering new vendors and having a great time. Enjoy the adventure!

Participating Vendors

Our Side Quest vendors are spread across the entire convention floor. Each one has a unique activity waiting for you at their booth. Look for the helium balloon to spot Quest Stops!
