Based on everything we already know about San Diego Comic-Con 2016, this should be a decent year for fans. It doesn’t seem like the most exciting event compared to recent years, but Warner Bros. will have Suicide Squad and Wonder Woman fun, Marvel will bust out a Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 teaser (probably), and the cast of The Walking Dead will do its best to not answer any questions about which character was on the receiving end of Lucille in the season finale.
The cast of Game of Thrones will also be appearing, likely to receive a standing ovation for giving fans everything they could have hoped for during the show’s sixth season, but HBO wants to make the experience even more exciting. Beginning at 6 p.m. PT on Wednesday, July 20, attendees can take part in a Game of Thrones scavenger hunt that will last until Saturday, July 23 at 11 a.m. PT. Judging by the details provided by Watchers on the Wall, the hunt is really just a huge social media campaign for the show, as fans will have to tweet photos of everything they find, but it’s certainly worth it for the prize pack.

You can save time and just buy the Clue version of Game of Thrones, but it’s way better to win your copy, especially when it means being one of 15 who will then be able to laugh at all the losers. Especially if your chosen cosplay is Septa Unella and you can walk around shouting, “Shame! Shame! Shame!” Just watch out for anyone dressed like FrankenMountain.
Check out the rest of the details for the Game of Thrones scavenger hunt below, and the show’s other attractions at Comic-Con over at Watchers on the Wall.
Updated: According to HBO, there has been a “minor tweak to the winner selection process.” The changes are reflected in the updated infographic (above) and right here:
Fans will now have until 5pm on Saturday, July 23, to complete all of the Twitter photo challenges. Once completed, they can go to USAopoly’s CLUE: Game of Thrones Experience Booth #1017 between 9:30am-5pm PT on Saturday to enter their name, contact info and Twitter handle into a raffle for a chance to win the prize pack valued at approximately $200.”
Have fun!
