The GHOSTBUSTIN' 911 party room returned to Crypticon Minneapolis for the convention's 11th year. Crypticon is always our biggest party of the year, & 2016 was no exception! For one weekend, we transformed an entire hotel room into a Ghostbusters firehouse headquarters, complete with Ecto Containment Unit, an open bar & an arcade. Not even a full hotel evacuation during a fire alarm (yep, it happened...nope, not our fault) could stop the party rolling into the wee morning hours.
Check out our past party rooms:
