During Thursday – Saturday at San Diego Comic Con, Square Enix turned Moonshine Flats into the Tomb Raider Experience. I got to Demo “Shadow of the Tomb Raider, took pics with snakes, & ate some bugs. Curious to see what went down & the full gallery at the bottom… Click the jump!
This event was for ages 21+ and upon going inside you needed to sign a liability waiver. As soon you walk in, the bar was turned into jungle complete with vines hanging from the ceiling.
There was area where you can demo “Shadow of the Tomb Raider”, which was available to play on PC, & XBOX. Luckily, I was able to play the demo. IT’S AMAZING and I can’t wait until it comes out.
You also had the opportunity to take photos with REAL SNAKES at the Snake Pitt. They had a few small snakes that they would switch out… & the other was an ANACONDA. I’m gonna be honest, holding the anaconda was intense. It was super fast for the photo op, they let you hold the snake for maybe 10 secs tops. That snake was HEAVY and started to curl around my arms!
Another feature of this experience was “Taste Fear “. They offered exotic offerings of REAL BUGS!
Among the choices was a Black Forest Scorpion, a Manchurian Scorpion, Superworms, Giant Water Bugs, Grasshoppers, & Silkworms.
All people chosen were selected at random, all you needed to do was stay in close proximity to the fear taste table. The table would have 3 Covered plates with the random bug inside. Three random people would be selected and they would have to eat all the contents in the cup. Legs, juices, everything! No water or drinks until every bit is swallowed. If you were able to complete that task.. you had a chance to spin the wheel possibly getting prizes like an X-BOX one and more. I witnessed some people win big & lose.
Luckily, I got picked… Enjoy My Video and see what I had to eat!
