Welcome, Traveler!
Join us for year two and participate in all manner of quests, games, activities, and more!Lantern Rite is MORE than just a convention! It is a full LARP (Live Action Roleplay) experience for the brave at heart! You can choose to participate in our side quests (and win prizes!), or you can simply enjoy the day like a regular convention. The festival is packed with vendors with Genshin Impact merchandise, a dedicated photo op room, and two activity rooms with festival games and arts and crafts!So CHOOSE YOUR OWN PATH, and come swing by Lantern Rite this year in Grapevine!
The Teyvat Travel Guide will be your booklet and lifeline throughout the event. Inside will be instructions on how to do your quests, your stamp booklet for earning prizes, and more! It also will work as an awesome keepsake for when you return home, filled with memories of your day of questing!All extra activities (such as festival games) will cost you Mora to play. And yes, these will be real life, in your hands, gold mora coins to make your Genshin experience all the more real! You can spend Mora on Lantern Rite-hosted things only (so for example, they won't work with the artists in artist alley). Use them on Festival Games, buying extra Wishes or Pity, Lantern Rite raffles, and more!
