Hot AF Wings challenge
If you are a gamer who can handle spicy food then this one is for you. It’s being held at the Kentucky Town stall.
Contestants have to make their way there and sign up to play the game.
The four players with the top score at the end of the days will be selected and will battle it out between 5 and 6 on the main stage by eating hot wings.
But there are various levels of hotness.
And these wings just get hotter and hotter until one of them just can’t handle it anymore.

Kids Con returns to Comic Con Africa
It’s a festival for kids, by kids, and will be part of the entire Comic Con Africa weekend at the Johannesburg Expo Centre.
Kids were geared up for some healthy competition throughout the jam-packed weekend as soon as the Nintendo consoles went on.
Setting new high scores was the order of the day, and they certainly stepped it up at the Just Dance Challenge.
The FNS campus also brought its robot, encouraging children to get involved in coding and robotics.
