Silver Palace at Anime NYC 2026: Booth Map, Free Gifts and Cosplayers

Elementa has published the booth details for Anime NYC, and this stop is imminent: Booth 2011 at the Javits Convention Center, August 20 to 23, 2026. It is the tour's next stop and the last one before gamescom in Cologne the following week.

Where to find Booth 2011

The official map puts 2011 on the right-hand edge of the exhibit hall, directly beside an entrance, with the marked route running straight up the right aisle from the entrance at the bottom of the plan. That is a good draw. You can reach it on the way in rather than crossing the whole floor to get there.

Anime NYC's published exhibit hall hours are 1:00 PM to 8:00 PM on Thursday, 10:00 AM to 7:00 PM on Friday and Saturday, and 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM on Sunday. Thursday's short afternoon session is the quietest window if you want demo time without a queue.

Free gifts at the booth

Three things to collect, and they cost different amounts of effort. It is the same three-tier ladder Elementa ran at Anime Expo and Japan Expo:

• Detective's Starter Kit. Visit the reception desk at the booth and pick one up. Free, no conditions. The bundle in the official art is a printed gift bag holding a set of in-world documents, a character hand fan, and an art card.
• Character coaster. Follow the official Silver Palace X account and pre-register for the game at the booth. Six designs, distributed at random, so which one you walk away with is luck.
• Acrylic art card. Complete the on-site demo. This is the one you have to play for.

The acrylic card is the item worth planning around. Budget real time for the demo rather than treating it as a walk-up, because the combat and investigation loop takes a few minutes to click.

Booth cosplayers

Three cosplayers are appearing across the run:

• Jooa
• Sora
• Xier

Jooa is the one carryover from the seven-cosplayer lineup at Anime Expo in July. Sora and Xier are new to the tour.

How this compares to Anime Expo

If you went to the Los Angeles stop, expect a smaller footprint. Anime Expo had two staffed locations, seven cosplayers, and a nine-slot stage program running 09:00 to 16:00 daily. Anime NYC gets one booth, three cosplayers, and no published stage schedule. Elementa's announcement covers the map, the gifts, and the cosplayers, and stops there.

That is not a downgrade in what you can actually do on site, since the playable demo and the full three-tier gift ladder both carried over. It does mean there is no timed programming to plan around, so turn up when the queue looks short rather than working to a clock.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where exactly is Silver Palace at Anime NYC 2026?

Booth 2011 in the exhibit hall at the Javits Convention Center, 445 11th Avenue, New York, NY 10001. The official booth map places it on the right-hand edge of the hall, next to an entrance.

Is the Silver Palace demo free to play at the booth?

Yes. The on-site demo is open to anyone with an Anime NYC badge, and finishing it earns the limited-edition acrylic art card.

How do I get the character coaster?

Follow the official Silver Palace X account and pre-register for the game at the booth. You receive one of six designs, handed out at random.

Are there stage shows at the Anime NYC booth?

Elementa has not published a stage schedule for this stop. Anime Expo and Japan Expo both ran daily stage programs, but the Anime NYC announcement covers only the booth map, the gift lineup, and the cosplayers.

Where does the tour go after New York?

Straight to gamescom in Cologne, August 26 to 30. The gamescom 2026 guide has both stands and the wider show lineup. After that it is gamescom asia in Bangkok, October 29 to November 1.

Can't make it to New York?

The Dichotomy Beta Test closed on August 13 and wiped its data, so Anime NYC and gamescom are the only two places to put hands on the game before the next test opens. If you are in neither city, the character roster is the fastest way to learn the cast, and the full 2026 tour schedule tracks every remaining stop.
