Located at the entrance to Minion Land, Illumination’s Villain-Con Minion Blast offers a unique blaster game experience that combines immersive sets, interactive technology, custom animation, and an original storyline. As guests step into Villain-Con, the largest convention for villains worldwide, they’ll embark on a challenge to prove their worthiness as the newest member of the notorious supervillain group, the Vicious 6.
Equipped with an “E-Liminator X” blaster, guests will compete against friends, loved ones, and fellow visitors to cause as much mayhem and destruction as possible. Along the way, they’ll encounter each member of the Vicious 6 in themed settings inspired by their characters, voiced by the original cast from the hit film, “Minions: Rise of Gru.” From Belle Bottom’s groovy disco to Stronghold’s museum filled with fragile art, the blaster game promises non-stop excitement.
Connected Gameplay and Digital Experience
Villain-Con Minion Blast introduces a connected gameplay experience through The Official Universal Orlando Resort App. By syncing their blaster to the app, guests can take their game to the next level, track their scores, embark on special missions within the attraction, unlock evil perks, and earn digital collectibles. The more guests play and the higher they score, the more rewards and bragging rights they’ll earn. This digital integration enhances the in-park experience, connecting guests to their Universal Guest Account and unlocking additional benefits.
More Minion Fun Awaits in Minion Land
Minion Land is an expansive area within Universal Studios Florida, offering a range of experiences inspired by Illumination’s hit films and characters. Alongside the popular Despicable Me Minion Mayhem attraction, guests can indulge in unique dining options, explore various eateries, and enjoy shopping and entertainment offerings.
Illumination’s Minion Cafe, run by the Minions themselves, serves inventive and family-friendly fare. Bake My Day, a retail location and bakery, offers a delightful selection of Minion-themed sweet treats. Pop-A-Nana satisfies popcorn cravings with its banana-flavored popcorn, while Freeze Ray Pops serves up colorful frozen treats. The outdoor Illumination Theater façade provides opportunities to meet and interact with beloved characters from the “Despicable Me” franchise and “Sing.”
