High Stakes Heartthrobs was AICOSU's largest and most ambitious production to date, bringing together 250 guests and a cast of 20 immersive performers for an unforgettable off-site Anime Expo weekend experience at the historic Cicada Lounge in Los Angeles. As the creators of one of the first large-scale cosplay roleplay speed dating experiences, AICOSU invited guests to spend the afternoon on fully in-character speed dates before transforming the venue into an elegant evening social club complete with themed cocktails, live performances, dancing, auctions, interactive activities, and exclusive character experiences.
