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.
