Interactive Game of Thrones fan events announced for Season 6 Blu-ray release!

To celebrate the release of season 6 on Blu-ray and DVD, Game of Thrones has an interactive event planned for their fans. HBO tells us this will be done in three different U.S. cities and feature interactive experiences that blend video, photo, and virtual reality to take fans behind the scenes of season 6.

Five different experiences will accompany the individual bonus features and will give fans the chance to go behind the scenes of epic moments like Dany burning the Temple of the Dosh Khaleen, Hold the Door, the Battle of the Bastards, and even sitting on the Iron Throne! Additionally, fans will be able to access brand new exclusive Virtual Reality experiences that will train them for the wars to come.

The first stop is in New York City at Astor Place (Friday, November 18th and Saturday, November 19th).

Followed by Chicago at Grant Park (Saturday, November 26th and Sunday, November 27th).

The third and final stop will be in Los Angeles at Hollywood & Highland (Friday, December 9th and Saturday, December 10th).

All operating hours will be from 12:30pm-8pm.

The first 20 fans will receive early entry and you can pre-register here!

In this experiences, modeled after Jon Snow’s command tent, fans can move stone pieces around the battle table and insert themselves into a photo opp of Jon’s position in the incredible aerial mob shot at the height of battle.
