What is Play-to-Win?


Play-to-Win is a special event at Ludicon that allows you to explore new games while having the chance to win a free copy! With games donated by our partner publishers, you can play throughout the weekend and enter the drawing for each game you’ve tried.

How Does it Work?

  • Choose a Game: Visit our Play-to-Win area and pick one of the available games. We have between 60 and 70 different titles for you to enjoy!

  • Play: Sit down, have fun with your friends or other participants, and explore the game’s mechanics.

  • Enter Your Name: Once your game session is over, each player can enter their name for that game into our system. This is your chance to win that game! Each participant must present their badge in order to be entered.

  • Drawing: At the end of the event (Sunday), we will hold a drawing for each game. If your name is drawn, you win the copy of the game you played!


Rules and Guidelines

  • Game Availability: All Play-to-Win games will be available for play throughout the weekend, from the start of the event until Sunday afternoon. Some games may only be available for play on specific days.

  • Main Draw (Weekend Games): The majority of Play-to-Win games are available for play all weekend.

  • Daily Draws (Daily Games): A selection of games (to be determined by Ludicon Staff) will be available for daily play, with drawings held at the end of each day.

  • Fair Participation: Any participant who plays a game is eligible to enter the drawing, regardless of whether they won the game or not.

  • High Demand Games: To ensure fair access, each participant can only enter once per game per day during the convention. If you play the same game on another day, you can be entered once again for that game.

  • One Game Per Winner: To allow more people a chance to win, each participant can only win one game. If your name is drawn for a game, you will not be eligible to win other games, even if you have entered multiple times.


Participation Requirements

  • Be Registered: Participants must have a valid Ludicon badge to take part in Play-to-Win.

  • Transparent Participation: Everyone entering the drawing must have actually played the game during the event.


Communication and Visibility

  • The Play-to-Win area will be clearly marked. Look for signs indicating the location of the games.

  • A guide (this document) explaining the rules and the entry process will be available on-site to help you participate.


Drawings and Prize Distribution


The drawing and prize distribution process will occur as follows:

- Main Drawing:

  • The main drawing for almost all Play-to-Win games will take place on Sunday afternoon at around 5:00 or 6:00 PM. Please note that the Play-to-Win area will close at 4:00 PM on Sunday to finalize entries for the draw.

- Daily Draws:

  • Certain games will be available only on specific days of the convention (Friday, Saturday, or Sunday) and will have their own daily draws.

  • The daily drawing for eligible Play-to-Win games will take place on at around 9:00 PM on Friday and Saturday, and around 5:00 or 6:00 PM on Sunday. Please note that the Play-to-Win area will close approximately 2 hours prior to each drawing to finalize entries for that daily draw.

- How to Win:

  • At the time of the draw, winners for each game will be determined randomly based on entries received.

  • The list of winners will be posted in a designated area at the convention hall and on our website.

  • To claim your prize, simply present yourself to a member of the staff and show your badge.

- Unclaimed Prizes: If a participant is not present to claim their prize during the drawing, they will have two (2) weeks after the event to arrange pick-up at one of the organizers' locations. Please note that prizes will not be shipped. If the prize is not claimed within that time frame, it will be added to Ludicon’s game library.



Best Practices and Tips

  • Clear Communication: Check our on-site signs for more details about entry and the drawing process.

  • Respect the Games: Please take care of the games you borrow so everyone can enjoy them.


We hope the Play-to-Win brings a fun and engaging experience to all participants. Come discover new games, have fun, and with a bit of luck, take home a piece of Ludicon! If you have any questions or need clarification, our team will be happy to assist you on-site.
