Immersive experience at Comic-Con
The first big show came days ago at Comic-Con held in San Diego, California. As with many activations, this was installed practically on the sidewalk in front of the Convention Center, and since the early hours of the first day on Thursday hundreds of fans have started queuing up.

Most of them were equipped with folding chairs to make waiting more comfortable, as the activity started at 10 am and it was only possible to enter in groups of twelve people.
The Series The house of the dragon belongs to the franchise George RR Martin’s popular books and is a prequel to the smash hit series game of Throneswhich ran for eight seasons.
What is the story about
The story of this House of the Dragon It takes place 200 years earlier and the center of the story is the battle for power within the Targaryen family, which threatens to plunge Westeros into a war of fire and blood.
The whole original immersive experience that was put together at Comic-Con is based on a dragon egg ceremony. Seen from the street, you can see the facade of a castle with a wall scratched by the enormous claws of a dragon. The slogan of the posters and banners is eloquent: “Fire will reign”.

A market full of actors disguised as artisans, merchants and soldiers has been recreated in front of one side of the entrance. They all speak to the audience and sport a British accent with Old English words and phrases.
The idea is to enter a medieval city, enter a castle, choose a dragon egg, bond with the animal before it hatches, take a photo on the throne and watch the little creature appear in a phone app.
Except for the cell phone details, it’s basically about experiencing a Targaryen in the fantasy world created by writer George RR Martin.
