Magic The Gathering x Spider-Man Activation at SDCC 2025 Recap

The Magic: The Gathering x Spider-man activation was pretty cool. We stopped by preview night which was a preview for press/media to check out. They had 5 different welcome decks that you could possible get. They had a comic book room where you can play the game or if you wanted to learn how to play they could teach you as well. They also had the Daily Bugle newspaper, comic book and plenty of photo ops. For press/media night, they served drinks, food and had a DJ. Overall it was a fun experience. Check out all of our pictures below:

Twisted Metal Bumper Battle Activation at SDCC 2025 Recap

We checked out the Twisted Metal Bumper Battle Activation during SDCC. You had to be 18+ to participate in the Bumper Battle and also had to sign a waiver. The standby line moved fairly quickly. Once you get inside there were photo ops featuring some of the cars and vehicles from the show as well as the Twisted Metal ice cream truck which meant free ice cream. They also handed out free masks and posters. Check out the pictures below:

Southpark Activation at SDCC 2025 Recap

South Park had their offsite activation pretty far away from everyone else this year. They had a ticketed RSVP line and stand by line. The tickets went as quick as they were released. They were pretty strict on the food/drink policy and that we couldn’t bring in any opened drinks or food including snacks. Kinda absurd to make people throw their stuff away. We get that they wanted us to buy their food, drinks and merch but that’s asking for too much. We were there to experience their activation. They had some cool theming inside and a few photo ops. They had a stage that showed clips from the show. They also had a South Park Trivia contest. Not sure how people were picked for it. On our way out from the activation they gave us button packs. It was an okay activation but not worth waiting in line for.

Coca Cola x Star Wars Holocreator Activation at SDCC 2025 Recap

Coca-Cola x Star Wars Holocreator activation at SDCC. It was a different experience but something Star Wars fan would enjoy. We were able step inside an augmented reality experience to record your own holographic message with memorable backdrops. We also received a limited edition Star Wars character designed can. There were photo ops with C-3PO as well as the menacing Darth Vader. Check out more of our photos below:

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!
