Super Troopers 3 Pop-Up at SDCC 2026

Super Troopers 3 had a cool pop-up in the Gaslamp during comic con. There wasn't much of a line when we stopped by. Walked right on in. Free pancakes and coffee. Play some games or do a few activities and then pick up some cool Super Troopers 3 swag. Definitely an underrated offsite experience. Wait times were minimal to no wait. They need a lot more pop-ups like this throughout comic con. 

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:

The Interactive Zone at Petco Park, Marvel Wolverine, Stern Pinball, Alienware, Marvel Rivals, Star Trek Boldly Built, Princess Donut Food Truck, Splatoon Raiders x Brisk, Nintendo Switch 2, Ebenezer, Wildwood and many more. There were so many things to do and so little time. The heat and the humidity this year was brutal and it was not fun being in the sun.

Paramount+ The Lodge was back once again this year at SDCC. This has been one of the most popular offsite activation at SDCC for the last several years. Getting reservations ahead of time is extremely hard. Most just wait in the standby line. This year they had a variety of shows represented inside. Avatar: The Last Airbender, South Park, UFC, Star Trek along with photo ops, food, drinks and swag. This year they also implemented a wristband that needed to be scanned when you were served or given any food, drink or swag. A lot of time could be cut down if swag wasn't getting personalized or had to be made and if some immersive stuff didn't take too long to set up and reset after each person if you know what i mean. Always a good time regardless! 

Clash of Clans - Clash For The Stache Offsite Activation

Supercell's Clash of Clans - Clash for the Stache Offsite Activation was not a free offsite activation unlike last year's Starr Park which was fantastic. You have to purchase tickets / reserve a time slot to participate. There is no free swag this year besides getting your photo taken after you play. The actor was phenomenal and funny when our group couldn't answer their question or we were too quiet. The decorations and theme throughout the space was so good. This offsite activation will still be open til early September. They have a lot of cool merch so definitely worth going to if you are a fan of Clash of Clans. 

Adult Swim on the Green 2026

Adult Swim on the Green was back for another year of awesomeness at SDCC this year. It was really odd that Adult Swim was the only offsite activation behind the convention center this year. Adult Swim brought in a Rick & Morty ride, mini golf, games etc... along with their nightly panels and screenings. Most days they opened at 1pm except Sunday. Wed was for press/media/vip. 

 

Nickelodeon's Fun Flows Here Offsite Activation at SDCC 2026

Nickelodeon's Fun Flows Here offsite activation. If you ever wanted to get slimed this was your chance! They also had photo ops, characters roaming around and swag giveaways + more ice cream! 
 

Disney's Percy Jackson and The Olympians Offsite Activation at SDCC 2026

One of the busiest offsites this year was the much anticipated Percy Jackson and The Olympians offsite activation. There are 3 paths that you could choose from which was Percy, Thalia and Annabelle. Once you pick your path you were given a scroll with a wristband of your chosen path. We chose Percy. At the end of the path, we were given a blind bagged pin. There was a photo op at the end as well. 

Shout out to the staff who had umbrellas to help shield the sun for people in the line because not only was it hot but it was so humid. Our video was too long to upload here. Check it out on our instagram. In the meantime, check some photos from our path below. If you scroll further down, the cast of Percy stopped by and signed their pillar. 
 

Hulu Animayhem Offsite Activation at SDCC 2026

Hulu Animayhem was in a different location at SDCC this year. With the restricted space there was less things to do but the line was still really long with people waiting early in the morning just to get in when it opened. This year had a few photo ops and themed food as well as free swag which you got to choose between a Futurama or King of the Hill hat. Everything was free but the wait was long in the heat and humidity. 

Check out our little video below: 

Predator Badlands Activation at SDCC 2025 Recap

This was one of the last offsite activations to get announced for SDCC. There were no reservations for it. It was FCFS. We got the chance to check it out and the line moved fairly quickly. Seemed like it was a 30min wait when we went so definitely not bad compared to some of the other offsite activations. We also received a Predator Badlands token as we entered which we could redeem for a drink at the bar. For more photos check below but if you want to see a video of this offsite you'll find it on our IG. 

Hulu's King of the Hill Activation at SDCC 2025 Recap

Hulu’s King of the Hill offsite activation during SDCC was a really fun and unique experience. Once you get through the line you are given a King of the Hill card that tells you what activities there are inside Arlen, Texas as well as tickets for a trucker hat and bbq food. There were various photo ops as well as several games to win prizes such as a can koozie, pin sets etc.... Pick up your trucker hat at Mega Lo Mart, food at the Hill House Backyard BBQ and stop at the Water Tower to pick up your can of Alamo water. 

Check out all of our pictures from the activation below:

Old Spice x DC Superman Offsite SDCC 2025 Recap

The Old Spice x DC Superman activation was located at the Promenade Plaza at Hilton Bayfront. Although the line looked like a short wait from outside, it took longer than expected as the line snaked around the courtyard to several photo opportunities. There were couches surrounding the center and some umbrellas that shielded us from the blaring sun. The new Superman movie trailer was playing on a large screen. A staff member was walking the line and randomly choosing who to give out Old Spice branded decks of cards to. And we kept getting skipped. Eventually a new staff came by who was more generous and we each got a deck! 

When it came time for us to board the rocket, there were some tech issues with the tablet. Staff quickly solved the problem and we got on our way making our superman poses and a deodorant flew out. At the end of the experience we each got a printed photo as a keepsake.

The idea was great, however it would have been nice if there was more shade and activities to do while waiting in line or maybe if there were multiple rockets to make the line go faster.

The deodorant is a Citrus scent which smells nice and can suit anyone, a much appreciated & needed swag at SDCC!
