SDCC 2014: The ‘Adventure Time ConQuest’ Returns To San Diego!
Briefly: This was a very cool event that I learned about far too late last year, so I’m really looking forward to earning my medal this time around!
Cart0on Network is bringing the Adventure Time ConQuest back to San Diego for its third year in a row, and this year Lumpy Space Princess enlists Con-goers’ help to find a perfect date in exchange for a collectible OMG medallion!
Last year, the event was essentially a scavenger hunt that took fans all over the place, so I’d expect something similar this time around. Here are all the details:
Lumpy Space Princess is on the verge of a dating disaster, and it’s up to Comic-Con 2014 attendees to help her avoid it! Cartoon Network Enterprises, the licensing and merchandising arm of the television network, today unveiled plans for the 2014Adventure Time ConQuest, which will take place during Comic-Con® International: San Diego. 2014 marks the third consecutive year that the network has held the ConQuest experience for Adventure Time fans, which has become a fan-favorite activity that leads fans throughout the convention to check out the latest licensed products based on the brand. This year’s epic quest will once again dole out secret text-messaged clues to participants that will guide them on their journey across the convention floor in an attempt to find a suitable bachelor for Lumpy Space Princess to take to the Princess Day Ball.
