The Prize Drop
One of TTGE’s most iconic competitions — the Musical Chairs SIM Rigs Tag Team Challenge — will have the main stage revving with excitement. Winners will speed off with prizes like Advanced Driving Academy courses and exclusive merch.
And that’s just the start. Over R25,000 worth of cash, Takealot vouchers, experiences, and gaming hardware will be up for grabs during the festival.
“Comic Con Africa gives us a chance to connect with everyday gamers and fans who simply love the culture. Through our partnership, we’re making Toyota performance more accessible, both in-game and in real life, while continuing to support the growth of gaming in South Africa,” says Glenn Crompton, Vice President of Marketing at TSAM.
Meet & Beat Your Heroes
This year’s Comic Con Africa is pulling out all the stops. Three of South Africa’s most talented cosplayers will be on-site, each paired with a Toyota that perfectly matches their character. Fans can also catch Troy Shepherds, fresh from his Comic Con Cape Town debut, entertaining both on stage and across social media.
With this much talent in one place, photo opportunities are endless — and your Instagram feed is about to thank you.
