== Fursuits - Gotta Catch 'Em All ==
In 2017, NordicFuzzCon had Japan as the theme and introduced a game called Fursuits - Gotta Catch 'Em All. The way the game works is that each participating fursuiter gets a code written on their fursuit badge, and all attendees can enter that code into the NordicFuzzCon phone app or website to "capture" the fursuiter. When signing up as a hunter, attendees also chose a team to join. The game features lists of the most active hunters, most caught fursuiters, and the team with the most amount of points.

==Conventions==
As of 2019, seven instances of the convention have taken place. An eighth is announced for [[NordicFuzzCon 2020|2020]].
