Comic-Con: Conquer Westeros in 'Game of Thrones' Winter Is Here experience

Hope you dressed warmly, because HBO set up a "Winter Is Here" environment for "Game of Thrones" fans at San Diego Comic-Con. It's open to anyone with an SDCC badge, but be prepared for a line that stretches a few blocks.

All men must die. All men must wait in line.

'Dragonglass' slap bracelet

Upon entry, you'll be assigned an RFID wristband so all your photos and videos from each activation will get emailed to you. Brace yourself, new profile pics are coming.

The Great Hall, Winterfell

Next, you'll find yourself in Winterfell. Take a seat at the head table in the Great Hall, and the Northern Lords proclaim you the King in the North.

Dragonstone throne room

Daenerys may have wanted to get straight to business (spoilers!), but you can seat yourself on the throne at Dragonstone castle.

If you saw the Dragonstone throne and thought, "I don't want to be a queen. I want to be THE queen," luckily you can sit at the Iron Throne for another photo op.

Not into ruling and politics? Venture over to the north of the Wall, where you can dress up as Jon Snow or a wildling and fight White Walkers in a 360-degree video.

I took the Black...

...but without sleeves, I just look like the drummer in a teenage metal band.

Fruit's Watch? Night's Ninja?

Planning on going north to defend The Wall? Hope you played a lot of Fruit Ninja. The last activation arms you with a dragonglass dagger (it's actually a PlayStation Move Controller) to fend off waves of White Walkers.
