Vikings Bludgeon Booth
Vikings will be in booth #437 with a cinematic Instagram booth, allowing fans to create their own special effects Viking battle.
• The Bludgeon Booth is a walk-in glass and wooden structure, equipped with multiple ultra-slow motion cameras
• Fans dress in authentic costume, choose their opponent and then swing their Viking weapon to unleash special-effect blood splatter; cameras capture cinema-quality footage, which is compiled by on-site editors and integrated into a battle scene from the show
• 15s clips depicting a Viking battle are sharable via Instagram and other social platforms

Join the Raid Offsite in Downtown San Diego
• Select local bars will offer special drink discounts for horn-holders & Vikings Brand Ambassadors and Shield Maidens will distribute the horns throughout the Gaslamp District
• Vikings Longship, driving through Downtown, Gaslamp Quarter and sailing the harbor. Custom fabrication and boat wrap will transform a popular San Diego “Seal Boat” into a Vikings Longship. The boat will offer fans free stops to select Gaslamp locations, with fans receiving a Vikings Drinking Horn at the conclusion of the ride. Exact stops TBA.
• Select fans will also have a chance to win a sunset cruise aboard the Longship with the cast of Vikings.
