Arkham Con ’26 is a 4-day gaming convention for fans of Arkham Horror: The Card Game by Fantasy Flight Games. It is organized by a group of gaming enthusiasts brought together through a mutual love of the game and the community that has grown around it.
In previous years, we congregated at the much-loved BusterCon, organized by the Mythos Busters. When they announced that they were taking a break and there would be no BusterCon in 2025, we knew how much its absence would be felt by the community. We decided to band together and, with the Busters’ blessing, put on a community-run convention to continue providing spaces for people to gather and celebrate their love for the game.
The Busters returned from their hiatus in the fall of ’25 and joined forces with the Arkham Con ’25 team to continue putting on cons for the Arkham community.

Friday Evening Showcase Event
Arkham Con ’25 featured the world premiere of a new epic multiplayer scenario by The Beard, When the World Screamed. Inspired by the Arthur Conan Doyle short story of the same name, When the World Screamed finds your investigators embarking on an expedition to drill to the center of the Earth! But what will they discover, and will they prove the wild assertions of the expedition lead that something is alive down there? Enter the elevator, ride it down to the machinery, and find out what happens when the world screams!
Con attendees got the first ever chance to play this scenario, experiencing it in epic multiplayer mode Friday evening. In addition, every attendee received a copy in their swag bag to take home. Huge thanks to The Beard for creating this epic experience for the con!
The scenario, which also offers a single group mode, is now available for download on Mysterious Chanting and for PnP through MakePlayingCards on Inexorable Fate.
