CALLING ALL COSPLAYERS from anime, TV, movies, books, video games, OCs, furries, and more! Dress in your favorite cosplay and join your cosplay expert instructor for an hour of role-play crime-solving, murder mystery fun! Here's how it works: Arrive in cosplay- all costume styles welcome. Closet cosplay is just fine and if we have two students as the same character, I will work that into the storyline, no worries. We will greet you and we will wait for the other players to arrive. Then you will be given the details of the crime. The setting, the clues, and you will be told about your character's involvement in the crime. Your objective is to role play your character and act and react according to the clues given. No worries if you are new to role-playing games or shy. Your teacher is a master of improv and an experienced game leader. Your teacher will be giving clues to the entire class. The character who committed the crime will be told privately. If that's you, act and react like you are innocent to try to fool your fellow players. If it's not you, keep playing the game to try to figure out the criminal. You may form alliances with other players and work together if you'd like. I make sure to keep the class and role-play appropriate for the age group the entire time. We take time to pause and "suss each other out." If your child enjoys Among Us, they will LOVE this game! What acting clues are you being given by your classmates to make you believe one of them is the murderer? End of class we vote on who we think is the top suspect. Then the criminal is announced. Did you guess correctly? After the announcement, we take time to introduce ourselves and have a "back to reality" session where we laugh and leave on a positive note. This class has roles for 6 players total. We need 4 minimum to play. You will be informed in advance if we don't reach the 4 sign ups. Thank you so much, cosplayers!

Teacher expertise and credentials
Is your child a cosplayer or wanting to be a cosplayer? Do they want to join other cosplayers online in a safe, happy, encouraging space? Do they want to learn from cosplayers paid to speak at conventions, events, and are sponsored by costume companies? Do they want to be a part of a friendly cosplay community? Then please read more about our organization, Cosplay Is Life here on Outschool!
Our leader! Mama Cosplay! Mama Cosplay is known worldwide as the "Internet Cosplay Mom." Mama has a large social media following due to her portrayal of original anime characters, and her engaging, loving, encouraging way with children. Not only is she a cosplay mother figure, but she's also skilled in all areas of cosplay. Mama knows it's more than just having the cosplay skills. You have to be able to connect with children AND be able to communicate in a manner that makes the child excited to learn more. Mama excels at cosplay education with clear communication presented with pizazz, energy, and enthusiasm. Mama has over 100 wigs, even more costumes, cosplay accessories, and an endless supply of makeup. Mama is a top cosplay influencer, which means companies provide her with any costume item she wants. She is also paid to speak at cosplay conventions and is a cosplay cabaret show producer! She's also the mom of 3 child cosplayers, one of which is also a professional cosplayer! Mama has developed over 50 unique, original cosplay classes and events since she began her educator career with Outschool. Top sellers include Mama Cosplay's Cosplay Prom, The Cozzies Cosplay Awards, Crimes Against Cosplay, cosplay parties for every holiday, private cosplay instruction, and private parties.
One thing we must mention is that Mama is also known for bringing shy learners out of their shells. Many children begin her classes feeling awkward, and with much social anxiety. The transformation that happens in her classes is incredible! Soon those shy children are social butterflies and many have gone on to become big names in the cosplay industry, and/or surrounded by new friends, and many are now looked up to as mentors for young cosplayers.
Bucky- every cosplayer's big brother.
Bucky is an outgoing, bubbly, fun, inclusive instructor who quickly rose to popularity here on Outschool because he's close enough in age to the students that he relates to their generation, but old enough to lead them properly and with much enthusiasm. Bucky loves to cosplay from many fandoms, is an avid video gamer, and is very enthusiastic when it comes to all things cosplay and anime. Students love Bucky so much they have made Bucky cosplay playing cards, Bucky fan art, and Bucky memes. You can find Bucky on the schedule every other Sunday.
Lore: (Mama's child) Lore became a professional, sponsored cosplayer at age 15. Lore is sponsored by major costume companies, wig companies, and makeup lines. Lore was a teacher's assistant on Outschool for a year and is now an official Outschool cosplay educator. Lore leads the Five Nights at Freddy's cosplay group, the DSMP group, The Scariest Cosplay Group, and more!
Ari- Ari is a professional chef and leads the Cooking With Cosplayers series.
If you want your cosplayer to learn from cosplayers who represent the very best in the business, and will properly guide your child through every aspect of cosplay, please give the educators at Cosplay Is Life a try. Mama truly cares and wants your child to leave class feeling happy, encouraged, praised, and enthused!
