Registration for Mind Games 2026 is open for current Mensa members. Any registered member may also register a guest (limit one guest per registered member). There is a cap of 30 total non-member guests, with guest registration on a first-come, first-registered basis until that cap is reached. Once the event reaches capacity, only members may join a waitlist. If space becomes available, members on the waitlist will be offered spots before any non-member guests. Non-members will not be placed on a waitlist but registered attendees will be notified if additional guest spots open.
Additionally, attendees 14 and younger are required to have a parent/legal guardian (also registered) present in the games room with them at all times to ensure the safety and well-being of all of our guests. Youth members 17 and younger are allowed to register one non-member parent/guardian.
Your Mind Games registration includes two (2) lunches (Friday and Saturday) and two (2) dinners (Friday and Saturday). The hotel offers two (2) complimentary breakfasts in their restaurant (per hotel room, per day). There is a daily $10 fee for triple and $20 fee added for quadruple occupancy rooms. Hospitality is open from 4 p.m. Thursday until 10 a.m. Sunday, with exact hours to be announced later.
If you've traveled recently, you've probably noticed the option to protect your trip with travel coverage. Now Mind Games® 2026 offers the same kind of protection with the Registration Refund Program, offering members protection should you need to cancel your Mind Games 2026 registration outside of our normal policy.
How it works: When you register, you can opt in for a small fee (just $19.99 for members and $23.99 for non-members). From that day until the start of the event, you’re covered.
By selecting to protect your registration, you can apply for a refund if there is an inability to attend due to reasons such as:
The takeaway: Like travel coverage, the Registration Refund Program is completely optional — but with it, you're covered if life throws you a curveball.
Please note: By adding the additional fee to your registration, you confirm you have read and accepted your Terms and Conditions which includes a full list of acceptable reasons to cancel your registration for a refund.
Again, adding this protection is completely optional and you are not obligated to purchase it.
