We are so excited to see challengers in person at PAX West 2021! To help comply with PAX Health & Safety Guidelines the PPL has it’s own dedicated room in Room 210, right down the hall from the Handheld Lounge! This means we will NOT have a booth in the Diversity Lounge like in past years.

(Please note that the above map is from 2019 and may be different for PAX West 2021)

We are doing things a little differently this year:

• Partly due to the success of PAX Online, we have developed a webapp for challengers and leaders to use to keep track of information, badges earned and join leader queues. No more shouting from across the convention center to know when it’s your turn!
• Challenging the PPL will look differently than past years.  You will only have to earn 5 badges and then you are eligible to go up against the champion. No elites!
• We have two activity badges which you can earn through doing some small actvities.
• We also will not have raffles this year but instead have a tiered system in which you can be eligible for different prizes based on how many badges you earn this year.
• In order to keep as safe as possible, we will have hand sanitizer, disinfectant, and extra masks on hand in Room 210 for you as needed.

We are so excited to see you soon and stay tuned for our first leader reveal soon!
