It’s been more than four years since NBC’s Parks and Recreation aired its final episode, but San Diego Comic Con is keeping Ben Wyatt’s dream of the Cones of Dunshire alive at an off-site activation. The game, which Adam Scott’s character cooked up during a long stint of unemployment on the show, has had several failed Kickstarter attempts but so far, remains a work of fiction.
The Beat toured NBC’s SDCC activation Wednesday and found the Cones of Dunshire in a small corner of the Hard Rock Hotel, embedded with other fake merchandise, like Dunder Mifflin paper and Sweetums candy. This is part of the NBC’s Superstore pop-up, which is also giving away some swag for The Good Place while supplies last.
NBC is also featuring a Brooklyn Nine-Nine interactive experience at the con, where guests are “trained” at the precinct with a short video message from the cast and then asked to solve a series of mysteries once inside. The experience lasts roughly 15-20 minutes and features some pretty long lines, but fans of the show will appreciate the great detail of the elaborate set pieces once within the activation. It’s similar to last year’s off-site experience for The Good Place, which featured a slew of actors to welcome you to the afterlife.
The Brooklyn Nine-Nine activation is in front of the Tin Fish Restaurant on Sixth Avenue and open during these hours:
- Thursday, July 18: 10 a.m. – 6 p.m.
- Friday, July 19: 10 a.m. – 6 p.m.
- Saturday, July 20: 9 a.m. – 3 p.m.
- Sunday, July 21: 10 a.m. – 5 p.m.
The Superstore experience is located inside the Hard Rock Hotel main lobby on Fifth Avenue and open from:
- Thursday, July 18: 10 a.m. – 6 p.m.
- Friday, July 19: 10 a.m. – 6 p.m.
- Saturday, July 20: 9 a.m. – 6 p.m.
- Sunday, July 21: 10 a.m. – 5 p.m.
