Sure, you’ve seen every episode of “Game of Thrones” three times and, yeah, you know the Targaryen family tree like the back of your hand, but have you ever actually stepped foot into the world of Westeros? No. But now you can. Kind of.
On Saturday, Nov. 26, and Sunday, Nov. 27, an interactive behind-the-scenes look into the making of Season 6 will be coming to the Petrillo Music Shell in Grant Park to celebrate the release of the show’s most recent installment on Blu-ray and DVD.
The event is free but also first-come, first-served. Guests must be 18 years or older, or be escorted by an adult.
If you’re really feeling like an emotional masochist—like all “Game of Thrones” fans must be—you can “immerse yourself” in iconic moments from the season, such as Dany’s temple burning, the Battle of the Bastards and, of course, the fateful “hold the door” scene. Honestly, f*ck you, HBO.
Other, less heartbreaking activities include virtual reality battle training at Castle Black (just don’t get stabbed by your brothers, right, Jon?) and displays of props and costumes from the show.
