HBO Max LANTERNS Offsite Activation at SDCC 2026

The LANTERNS Training Headquarters offsite was one of the hardest offsite activation to get a reservation for. It was another awesome immersive experience. You get split into 4 groups and everyone gathers for a debriefing on the training and then each group goes with their trainer to train in various missions. We went thru a dark maze and an escape room type situation and then a leap of faith where one member of our group did a freefall type stunt. After that, we were given our Lantern rings and we took the oath. After that we went to the bar for complimentary drinks. There was also merch being sold as well as photo ops. Check out our video below:
