- This year, the Bone Zone has been replaced by Kevin's Korner.
- "Kevin" is a camera, used both for closeups and zoom/pan shots around the room.
- Every prize comes with a Desert Bus for Hope "1 DBloon" challenge coin. (One was also given to each of the crafters.)
- There are pronoun pins optionally worn by people on set: purple for he/him, yellow for she/her, blue for they/them.
