NYCC 2018 Activations/Offsites
« on: September 10, 2018, 10:28:03 AM »
Amazon Prime coming out with the first activation I've heard about, for Good Omens:

Quote
Also announced today is a unique fan experience at NYCC for the forthcoming series Good Omens. On the convention floor, a peculiar elevator will carry guests to an undisclosed location, detailing their fate in the great cosmic chess game between good and evil. Doors will open to reveal guests’ ill-fated luck, or alternately their blessed end, as they step inside either Heaven or Hell. “Heaven” will welcome guests to fussy angel Aziraphale’s bookshop, where they can explore the antiquities within and even try their hand at speaking to God. Guests destined for “Hell,” will be welcomed to hop inside loose-living demon Crowley’s 1926 Bentley for a devilish photo moment. Fans unable to attend NYCC will get the chance to digitally interact with the experience through a series of social media extensions.

Sounds pretty cool!

EDIT: I lied.

At the Nickelodeon booth:

Quote
Daily Booth Activity:

·         Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Experience: Attendees can step inside the Turtles’ secret lair under the streets of New York City for a gif opportunity.

 

·         The Loud House Photo Opp. Enter the Loud family’s living room, sit on the couch and take a group photo with Lincoln Loud and his 10 sisters.

I'd be interested in that Good Omens thing. Sounds a lot like the Westworld thing last year. I hope I have enough good luck inside of me to warrant a trip to Heaven. Haha.

I've no idea! That's all the newsletter said, and I've not been able to find any mention of it on the Crunchyroll or VRV websites. But from the description it sounds like it may be all weekend.
