HBO announced the ultimate fan experience, Game of Thrones Experience The Realm, is returning to San Diego Comic Con International Located in the center of the Gaslamp District at the Omni Hotel, this year’s fan experience takes things to a whole new level with even more fan activations. Beginning Thursday, July 9th through Saturday, July 11th open from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. and on Sunday, July 12th from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. fans can step into the world of the Westeros and HBO NOW subscribers can gain early VIP access. Take a look below at all the goodies HBO’s Game of Thrones Experience The Realm has to offer at Comic Con this year!
Paying homage to beloved character Arya Stark’s early days of sword training, the experience will feature an installation that is part sword-handling skill and part artistic process, to create a beautiful, graphic Game of Thrones-style self-portrait. Upon arrival, fans will have their portrait taken and step in front of a 10-foot projection screen on stage. There, they will use a replica of Arya’s wooden training sword to strike targets as they appear on screen. Upon completion fans will receive an artistic portrait made entirely of their sword strikes that is immediately shareable on their social networks as well as at #ExperienceTheRealm.
Fans can also create sharable animated GIFs including being incinerated into ash by Danaerys’ iconic dragons and turned into a WhiteWalker. Additionally there will be photo opportunities with the iconic Iron Throne and the giant sword used by The Mountain. Select costume displays from Game of Thrones will be featured along with a gallery of select work from the Game of Thrones Compendium Book, featuring original creations from the talented fan-base ranging from art, fashion, food and fans can pick up a limited-edition T-Shirt designed by Beautiful Death artist Robert Ball.
