Ice King’s Shenanigans Send Fans on All-New Heroic Quest to Save the Princesses Throughout Con;
Handsome Reward is for Wizards Only, Fools!
The Ice King must be stopped – and San Diego is where it will happen. Cartoon Network Enterprises, the licensing and merchandising arm of the television network, today unveiled plans for the 2013 Adventure Time ConQuest, which will take place during Comic-Con International: San Diego. The epic quest will send fans of the popular Cartoon Network animated series on a treasure-filled journey throughout the San Diego Convention Center and surrounding areas, while they attempt to save Princess Bubblegum, Lumpy Space Princess, Hot Dog Princess and many others from the obsessive clutches of Ice King. Save the princesses and capture the Ice King, and victors of the search will be handsomely rewarded with a limited-edition keepsake that will only be given to those brave enough to embark on the challenge.
To participate in the Adventure Time ConQuest, fans must visit any of the 14 participating partner booths and locations listed below or head to the Cartoon Network booth (#3735) and look for signage to begin their journey.
