HBO Created a Westworld Experience at SXSW that’s Like Disney World with Gunslingers, Women, and Booze—Take an Exclusive Look Inside
Season two of Westworld has already wrapped, but before the premier aired, they ramped up excitement by offering a once-in-a-lifetime immersion role-playing experience to a lucky few fans who attended the South by Southwest in Austin, Texas.
HBO hired a cast of 60 actors, six stunt people, five bands, and six horses. They also developed a 440-page script for the 90-minute experience. Fans were shuttled to the secret location of Sweetwater where they could interact with the hosts, find hidden treasures with sneak peeks into the show, and more.
As far as the promotional product aspect, guests were given token coins that could be traded in for drinks, or kept as a memento, personalized letters from the post office, and white or black cowboy hats just like in the show.
