To promote the new Game of Thrones prequel House of the Dragon and the accompanied AR app DracARys, we created a guided experience at San Diego Comic-Con that transports fans to a Targaryen-ruled Westeros.

With 40+ actors, 40+ hand-painted dragon eggs, 100+ pages of scripting, characters, background, and story, this ambitious project was at complete capacity every day less than 2 hours after opening up.

Attendees will be guided through a ceremonial dragon hatching experience. Walking in a Targaryen’s footsteps, each person will step from our world into the sights and sounds of King’s Landing, interacting with people of the city, selecting their own dragon egg, and bravely demonstrating they are worthy of a bond with a dragon. From the caverns of Dragonstone to the magnificent Red Keep, guests will be ushered by a designated Dragonkeeper through seven dynamic phases, encountering special interactions, and sound sensory elements Powered by Bose, on their journey.

The experience starts right before you enter, where you interact with merchants, outdoor musicians, and the City Watch of King’s Landing. Merchants convince you to look at their textiles, metalwork, and goods from Drone, while a pickpocket walks around attempting to grab a few items from them (and sometimes, even attempt to fight the City Watch).
