Screen Time is one of the most popular game shows at ALL-CON. But it can be a bit reserved in keeping with the family atmosphere of the convention. But late at night...that's a different story! Host JediCole reveals that he does in fact know all the ''swear words'' when Screen Time lets loose with the ''Rated R'' version. Expect lots of movie trivia, fun starring role movie games, and all the drolly read movie quotes you love with Screen Time, only with a large volume of cussing found in favorite movies that are assuredly not appropriate for children. Audience members must be 18 years of age or older to attend or be contestants in this edition of the show. ** As with all game shows, get there early to get in on the potential contestant pool.

SUN 2:00 PM: Oooh! Oooh! Oooh! (with Grand Prize Drawing) (45 mins.)
Room: LANTANA I (Breezeway) Rated: Everyone
Produced By: ALL-CON Games and Theory; Happy Cat Productions; Half-Ass Productions
Brainchild of Games and Theory Executive Producer Cat Houston, this is the game show where EVERYONE is a contestant! The Games and Theory producers will divide the audience into teams and then ask each group trivia questions in turn. Anyone who thinks they know the answer is encouraged to raise their hand with an enthusiastic ''Oooh! Oooh! Oooh!'' with the first to acknowledge being picked to answer. A correct answer sends the audience member to the prize table to draw for a prize level and take home something fun. Each team makes the rounds until the questions arrive back at the first team and the rotation starts anew. Audience members are encouraged to let others have a chance at prizes if they have already won two themselves, ensuring everyone gets a little something for joining the fun. By far the most chaotic game show annually. It is also the show that has the highly anticipated Grand Prize drawing! All weekend long Games and Theory game shows, as well as many other non-game show events produced by the Games and Theory crew, give out two-part drawing tickets to all who attend these shows from beginning to end. On Sunday, after Oooh! Oooh! Oooh! concludes, tickets are gathered and one lucky attendee will take home the Grand Prize for 2026! What are we giving away? What additional random cool stuff would we rather give away that put in storage for a year? You will have to wait until Sunday to find out.
