A Sea of Thieves convention shuts down after people were apparently getting their drinks spiked with ‘unknown substance

Sea of Thieves’ annual SoTFest, a fan‑centric gathering held at Bescot Stadium in Walsall, England, was forced to cut its after‑party short‑circuit on July 11 after the venue received credible reports that several drinks had been tampered with by an unidentified substance.

According to a Dexerto report, the organizers promptly issued a Discord alert, urging anyone with concerns to alert staff at the nearest venue and informing the hotel where attendees were lodging of the situation.

Security teams are actively reviewing CCTV footage while police have been notified, and the event’s management has pledged to bar anyone implicated from future SoTFest gatherings.

Gamers attending the event are urged to seek immediate medical attention if they feel unwell, with organizers directing them to the nearest hospital without delay.

The event’s management has explicitly warned participants against taking matters into their own hands and to remain vigilant, emphasizing the importance of staying alert to potential hazards.

At present, no official investigations have been launched, and law enforcement has yet to release any statements regarding the situation.

Convention attendees are advised to scrutinize everything they touch, eat, or drink, ensuring personal safety and minimizing risk during the gathering.
