At San Diego Comic-Con 2022, IGN had the chance to check out the House of the Dragon: The Dragon's Den fan experience and take a trip to Westeros to see some dragon eggs, a dragon skull, and sit upon the Iron Throne.
The House of the Dragon fan experience was there to help promote the Game of Thrones prequel that is set to premiere on HBO on August 21 and it brought fans to King's Landing, the Red Keep, and even the caverns of Dragonstone, the ancestral home of the Targaryens.
We were even able to choose our very own dragon egg and hatch it via the new AR app called House of the Dragon: DracARys. Following the event, we were encouraged to continue to raise our personalized dragon in the app.
One of our favorite moments was sitting upon the Targaryen-era Iron Throne in a recreated throne room, and our time in Westeros was made even better by the staff that were fully in character as residents of George R.R. Martin's universe.
San Diego Comic-Con had so much to offer those who can't wait for House of the Dragon, including a brand-new trailer and a panel that featured Martin talking about how he won't cameo in a Game of Thrones spin-off until he finishes Winds of Winter, talk about how House of the Dragon is inspired by real history, and what it was like for the actors to dragonride.
