GenCon 2022 Draws Over 50,000 Attendees

For all attendees above the age of 2, it was mandatory to wear masks unless actively drinking or eating in the designated area. There was also a "mask break" area in the big game room. Also, we had to wait in a line for over an hour to show our proof of vaccination to get a yellow bracelet - which had to be worn at all times (going into the Vendor Hall, picking up tickets/badges at Will Call, attending events, etc.)
Granted, with masks it's never 100% compliance all the time. However, it was the best rate of any location I've visited in the past 2 years - far better than GaryCon, for instance.
They did have staff making rounds in the game areas to enforce the rule.
