Standing out at Comic-Con is quite a challenge. When AMC was looking to connect with superfans of the televised series, Fear the Walking Dead, TAIT answered the call. The goal was to create an unforgettable experience that put fans in control of their fate as they navigated the challenges of a zombie-infested apocalyptic nightmare. We set about crafting a unique, interactive adventure that would bring the terrifying world of AMC’s hit spin-off franchise to life.
Set aboard a recreation of the luxury set yacht – The Abigail, fans were plunged into the post-apocalyptic, wits-testing world of Fear the Walking Dead through five distinct customized, interactive games that used RFID technology for real-time tracking. Fans navigated mind-bending spaces filled with authentic show props and bespoke pieces, facing "do-or-die" decisions that mirrored the show’s maze of plot twists. Survivors of the experience received a personalized TOPPS trading card as a memento of their survival.
The activation became one of the most talked-about events at Comic-Con—and one of the most popular. Die-hard fans waited in line for over three hours for the chance to Fear the Walking Dead. This award-winning experience used cutting-edge tech to accurately capture the series' horrifying essence and build a personalized, immersive journey unique to each player.
