ILOILO — ThreadCon is giving the people exactly what they asked for. After gathering feedback from its community, the event returns to SM City Southpoint on October 3 and 4, 2026, with a loaded lineup of games and activities that promise laughter, nostalgia, and friendly competition.
A Lineup Built by Popular Demand
Organizers made it clear that this year's program was shaped directly by attendee requests. "We asked, and you answered," they announced, promising that the games people clamored for would finally take center stage. The result is a schedule that reads like a wish list granted in full.
From interactive challenges to nostalgic Filipino traditions, the activities are designed to pull everyone off the sidelines. Participants do not need prior experience or special skills, only a willingness to play, laugh, and engage with fellow creatives. The inclusive spirit ensures that no one feels left out.
Nostalgia Takes Center Stage
The Pinoy Parlor Games segment brings beloved childhood classics back to life, inviting attendees to relive the simple joys of neighborhood gatherings. These games tap into shared cultural memories, creating instant bonds between strangers who grew up with the same traditions.
Adding to the nostalgic energy is the Random Play Dance x Stop Dance competition, where participants show off their moves and freeze on cue. The format rewards quick reflexes and playful confidence, drawing cheers from onlookers and spontaneous participation from passersby.
Interactive Challenges for Every Personality
For those who love the spotlight, Voice Acting and Impersonating offers a chance to mimic favorite characters and celebrities. Pass the Message tests teamwork and communication under hilarious pressure, while Give Me What I Want challenges players to negotiate, persuade, or simply charm their way to victory.
Random Trivias rounds out the lineup with quick-fire questions that reward sharp minds and pop-culture savvy. Each activity is designed to be short, snappy, and endlessly entertaining, keeping energy high throughout the two-day event.
Trip to ThreadCon: A Journey Through Creativity
The Trip to ThreadCon activity ties the games back to the event's artistic roots, guiding participants through a creative journey that blends exploration with friendly competition. It serves as both an icebreaker and a celebration of the community that has grown around the convention.
Together, these games transform ThreadCon into more than a seminar series. They make it a living, breathing gathering where creativity and playfulness coexist. Attendees can rotate between learning sessions and game stations, crafting a weekend that balances skill-building with pure fun.
A Weekend of Memories Worth Keeping
Organizers emphasized that the goal is to deliver an unforgettable experience filled with laughter and connection. Beyond the games, ThreadCon offers free art seminars, a sketchmeet, and workshops across sketching, poetry, cosplay, and 3D printing. The games simply add another layer of joy to an already rich program.
Whether visitors come for the seminars, the games, or both, they will leave with new friends and stories to tell. ThreadCon invites everyone to mark October 3 and 4 on their calendars and join the celebration at SM City Southpoint.
