Little Nightmares III Pop-up Speakeasy at SDCC Recap

Bandai Namco teased a themed pop-up speakeasy for Little Nightmares III during SDCC 2025 and to be on the lookout on their social media for more information and how to access to this immersive activation. As time got closer to the start of the con, we were all anticipating for more details to drop! 

The Eventbrite link was posted on Wednesday, July 23 afternoon and tickets sold out pretty fast. Luckily we were able to score two tickets! This free one day event took place on Saturday, July 26 at the SideBar Nightclub in San Diego with day time (12pm-5pm) and night time (6pm-11pm and 21+) admission time slots. Those eager to experience this speakeasy were able to easily gain access through a standby line. 

At the entrance a huge blown up Monster Baby welcomed guests to the candy factory. Upon entry we were given a ticket that granted those with ticket reservations 1 complimentary drink and everyone was given a scavenger hunt sheet to participate in to receive a prize at the end. Inside was dark, glowing in green, and spooky with music blasting. The bar was covered in candy and there were special drinks that we got to partake in. We chose “Employee of the Year Bonus” and “The Dynamic Duo,” both topped with candy and were pretty delicious. Drinks did take a while as there was only 2 bartenders at the front bar and 1 at the back bar with attendees streaming in. 

For the scavenger hunt we had to complete at least 4 out of the 6 missions to earn a prize. This included playing a game demo, taking a photo with Low & Alone, completing the crossword puzzle, finding the hidden wrench (which seems so obvious now after we found it!), looking into a mirror, etc. We completed 4 of the 6 of the tasks and received a lanyard as a prize. There was also tote bags, but they ran out. 

Overall it was an enjoyable immersive pop-up! Check out our pics of the speakeasy:

Shudder’s Clown in a Cornfield Immersive Experience at SDCC Recap

Shudder’s Clown in a Cornfield experience was one of the best immersive offsites during comic con this year. If you enjoy going to Halloween Horror Nights or similar Halloween mazes this one did not disappoint.

This maze was just as unpredictable as any other ones with dead ends and an appearance by Frendo. Once we made it thru the maze we find ourselves inside a room. We needed to find the right key to unlock the door in order to escape.

Once we exited, survivors entered a twisted carnival type area that had areas for photo ops, carnival games, and was given tickets for food (gummies) and drink (slushies). On our way out, we were given a swag bag (popcorn, bag, poster) before our experience ended.  Check out our pictures from this experience below:
