If you’re attending San Diego Comic Con this weekend be on the lookout for ticks. Thankfully it isn’t the kind that spreads lyme disease, rather it is Amazon Prime’s Tick Takeover experience promoting the new series “The Tick.”

 

The Tick Takeover is easy to find. Just look for the giant blue antennae on the corner of J Street and 1st Street in the Gaslamp. Inside the lounge guests can charge their phones and watch the pilot episode all the while enjoying the huge fans that provide a chance to cool down. It is hot and humid here by the bay so those fans are well worth any small wait you may have.


After you are recharged and re-energized while being entertained by The Tick, make your way into the next part of the experience.

The “Tick Team” leads you into an interactive “challenge” that spans three rooms and leaves you searching for clues. At the end, you will be handed your handsome reward in the form of a customized item of your choosing.

 


I had a blast running around and scanning my wristband. The scenery is excellent and perfect for photo opportunities. The actors are there to guide you along the way so you aren’t standing there wondering what you are supposed to be looking for.
Catch the Tick Takeover daily throughout the run of San Diego Comic Con and stream The Tick on Amazon Prime starting August 25th.

About the Author

Erin Jefferson-Foley (Mommy Fearest) is terrified of scary movies, gore and zombies. But she loves all things Halloween and Haunt related! Slowly but surely she has been dipping her toes into the realm of horror movies with great results. Pretty soon she will work her way up to watching a scary movie when it is dark outside. Erin has had a love affair with theme park Halloween events for the past 20 years. Her first time at an event was at Knott's Scary Farm in the late 80s when a family friend, a Knott's employee, escorted her into the park to watch Elvira and give her a behind the scenes tour. She was intrigued as she walked through the break room and realized that they were just people in masks and makeup. It seemed like only a short time later, Erin was performing for Halloween Haunt which led to her meeting the love of her life, her husband. Each year she cheers on her husband and his friends as they set up and run a home haunt. You can catch her helping with line control and repeating the same instructions over and over and over to the guests each night. She has been a professional dancer and actress for over 20 years. When she is not in the studio teaching dance or in her office writing, you can catch Mommy Fearest with her husband and two kids at various conventions throughout California. She enjoys Cosplay, Star Wars, Renaissance Faires, Halloween, haunted attractions, paranormal happenings, special effects makeup and horrible reality television shows.
