Instead I present to you: Blizzcon Scharades/Celebrity! (drink every time you lose! or win!)
Split it up into two sides...Horde and Alliance of course. You can play old school scharades or adapt the rules of celebrity. In Celebrity, there are three rounds. In the first round, you can say anything you want and use actions. In the second round, you get one word and actions. The last round only allows actions. The rounds end when all the names have been said, and then the names are put again in the pot for the subsequent rounds. Each team has 1:30 to guess as many names as possible. The team with the most guesses, wins! It's nice for people who aren't as good at scharades because they get to hear the possibilities first.
Each person puts in 7 names without sharing it to their team.
Example names to put in the hat:
Malfurion Stormrage
Tyrande Whisperwind]
Bron!
Thrall
Mankrik's Wife
Illidan
Deathwing
Vol'jin
Alexastraza
Megaera
Etc.
Game: Blizz Accents
Materials: Knowledge is power
Goal: Fun!
Rules: Every time you see a cosplayer you must talk in the accent of whomever they are dressed as; until another cosplayer is seen.
- Gathering around the screen with friends each one has a small bell infront of them.
- Whenever the word "Blizzcon" is said everyone must ring the bell,
- Last Person to ring the bell must take a shot
- First Person to ring selects shot.
-Anyone who rings the bell, when no one says "Blizzcon" has their bell placed 6 feet away from them.
Good Luck at Blizzcon! Because this year at Blizzcon I am sure they will announce if not at this Blizzcon that at the next Blizzcon new games.
Monster (or any other type of energy drink)
Blizzard Official Game manuals and boxes
Know your lore...
This game will be restricted too the following...
WarCraft manuals and boxes
Diablo manuals and boxes
StarCraft manuals and boxes
Since lore changes so much over the years as new Blizzard games come out this game will be restricted to only the lore given in the official manuals, The lore can be taken from any WarCraft, StarCraft or Diablo games and any of their OFFICIAL expansions.
Here are the rules...
For each question asked whoever gets the question wrong has to take a gulp of energy drink and will have to face off once two or more people have missed the same answer they must then duel each other in Diablo 2. The winner will then become the next host to ask the question the loser will have to take another swig of monster/energy drink. If the loser loses 5 diablo 2 duels he must then play a match of StarCraft or WarCraft and if he/she loses that match that loser must then drink an entire can of energy drink. The drinking of an energy drink should help to temporary increase the skills of the losing player. We hope! The winner gets bragging rights and can choose a few his or her favorite energy drinks to take as spoils....

durring wow raids it can get intense when a wipe happens to haha so be prepared to pay up to win big
Objective: Score as many points as your team can to become victorious!
Rules: Basically a Blizzard Version of Taboo. Make cards beforehand with a Blizzard related word at the top and five words listed below that cannot be said during the guessing trial.
1. Form teams and decide which team will go first. Amongst the teams, choose a player to go first.
2. Start a 60 second timer and try to get your teammates to guess as many main words as possible.
3. You get a point for each card you guess correctly. You lose a point for using one of the five words or passing a card.
4. Add your points up at the end. Whichever team has the most points wins the game.
See an example card that I made below:

Goal: To collect the most points by having the most accurate predictions.
Equipment:
Title: Blizzcon 2013 Bingo
Objective: Get five in a row. This can be modified or completely changed depending on what the group wants. I did my best to spread out easy squares and hard squares so the game lasts longer, and tried to vary things so it'd be interesting. I think you can tell where I began running out of ideas...

Bingo card template (png) (psd) for any who want a blank version.
Game
BlizzCon Bingo is just like regular bingo, except you just have to see or hear what is in the boxes. Then you cross it off.
Objective
The objective is to cross off 5 boxes in a row, either up/down, left/right, or diagonal. Then you yell BINGO. Winnar.
Rules
No cheating.
You better also have a prize, or that would be lame.
You'd also want multiple randomized sheets so if you are watching the stream with a group everyone doesn't make the exact same lines.
Items Required
Small-scale Pewter/Plastic figurines representing a few units from each faction of each Blizzard game (Painting is optional, but highly recommended).
A Risk-style board consisting of a complete territory map of Azeroth, including all zones of the primary 4 continental regions + islands/Maelstrom. For a larger/longer game, add a dashed line to connect the Blasted Lands to Outland.
Some dice; go for 12 and 18-sided to make it more interesting
Risk Cards
Rubber suction darts
Objective
Conquer the World of Warcraft in an unbridled fury as your favorite faction!
Instructions
1. Start by tuning into one of the multi-game panels.
2. Next, toss a rubber suction dart at the monitor while one of your friends pauses the stream.
3. Play as that character's faction!
4. Repeat as needed for the rest of the room. If you have a repeat hit, flip a coin to choose between the remaining factions in that game.
5. Play the game in the same style as Risk!
6. While executing an attack, you must perform a battle-cry in the same voice/method of the faction that you are representing.
Players get game cards to mark down per hour how many of these color shirts they spot,at the end of each hour the points are compiled. Red=2 Green 3 Purple 4 and Legendary orange 6 who ever has the most points moves up in rank. At the end of Blizzcon the top winner recieves blizzcon in a box prizes.
