The Spin-Off Festival was an event created by tvguy347 inspired by Comic Con where Spin-Off creators were encouraged to share news about their works and post new chapters. They also played Spin-Off related games and bought merchandise from other members at the Glove Universe Market. Three occurred throughout 2010, but they went on a hiatus after that. These original three festivals were not huge events for their time and the first one was deemed a failure due to lack of coordination. A fourth finally occurred from May 31st, 2013 to June 10th, 2013, transforming it into a full fledged event with proper planning. A fifth one later happened from May 22nd, 2015 to June 12th, 2015, which saw a rebrand by moving the event into a carnival theme. The festival became a permanent annual event afterwards from 2016-2019. The event did not happen in 2020 however, being replaced by Arcade Anarchy that year instead. It returned with a tenth edition in 2021, lasting from May 21st, 2021 to June 14th, 2021. The eleventh and final edition occurred in 2022 from May 27th, 2022 to June 20th, 2022. The Spin-Off Festival was discontinued after that due to declining interest in SBC's stories, but some elements of it (an exclusive event currency and prize store) were carried over to Arcade Anarchy.
