Teams of 1-2 people can text the word “Overlord” to “[72466]” to begin the scavenger hunt.

Many hotels in the Des Moines area offer special 80/35 rates for festival lodging. These include Hotel Fort Des Moines, Marriott Downtown, Renaissance Savery, Fairfield Inn Airport and the Holiday Inn at the Des Moines Airport.

Camping is also available at Yellow Banks Park and the Iowa State Fair Campgrounds.

According to 80/35’s official website, this year’s festival “promises to be a logically funky, aurally superior robot dance party.”
