Westworld: Sky Q and Netflix create an immersive fan experience
By Ariba Bhuvad
What happens when Sky Q and Netflix join forces? An epic immersive Westworld fan experience, that’s what.
Westworld is not a Netflix show but recently Sky and Netflix came together to provide customers with a one-stop shop for all their favorite television shows. If you weren’t aware, Sky Atlantic is how Westworld is broadcasted to the U.K. and Ireland.
To celebrate this joining of forces, Sky and Netflix held an event that was a fan’s dream come true in which they were able to fully immerse themselves into some of their favorite TV shows including Westworld, The Crown, and Stranger Things.
The House of Sky Q experience is currently going in London, in the neighborhood of Soho and brings life to these shows within four themed rooms (how cool is that!). So what can Westworld fans look forward to upon visiting this experience?
Well, guests can step into the Mariposa Saloon and order a sherry punch while being surrounded by the usual suspects one would find in Westworld. So don’t get too comfortable because things can take a dramatic turn at any moment, which only adds to the excitement of being there.
Fans have taken to Twitter to share their experiences, sporting their best Western looks as they strut their stuff in the makeshift Mariposa Saloon. If you’re one of the lucky ones, we’d love to hear about your experience, and would love to see your pictures!
Other experiences including stepping into Buckingham Palace and drinking from the Queen’s china, stepping into the world of Stranger Things where guests help to search for Will or go beyond the wall into Castle Black for Game of Thrones. This sounds pretty darn cool, doesn’t it?
