There is no registration necessary for this event. Just sit back, hug your animal companion close, and get ready for a whole new world of fun. Then, grab your crowns & tiaras and learn more specifics about streams and giveaways below!

There will be tons of giveaways going on across our social platforms as well as in the Facebook groups. To help bolster your chances, you should wish upon a star as well as follow Sideshow across Social Media, click those notification bells to be alerted when we post, and keep an eye out for when we go live.

While we can’t unveil every magical mystery yet, we can reveal the grand prize of the event: the Wonder Woman Premium Format™ Figure by Sideshow. Graceful and powerful, this 1:4 Scale Statue includes both light-up and fabric features, and will surely stand out in your DC Comics collection.

Streaming Content

There are many livestreams happening during the week. These include:

Instant Giveaways, where you can watch along as our hosts show you the prize up for grabs and a moderator drops a link live to enter for a chance to win the prize. These quick drops happen in a flash, so you’ll want to make sure to have notifications turned on for your best chance to enter.

During the 100% Promo Hunt, we will announce when a mystery treasure has been hidden on our website; these will take the form of an extremely limited 100% off promotional code on a random collectible that only the fastest handful of people will be able to claim. If you find the code and are able to redeem it, you are still responsible for paying shipping, but this special opportunity is open to domestic and international collectors.

Trivial Cahoots

It wouldn’t be Princess Week without a test of your wits and courage. Join us at 5 PM PDT for a Trivia Game called Trivial Cahoots. This themed show is a little different than our other games because the audience gets to participate LIVE, answering between 15-20 questions using a mobile device as their buzzer. Correct answers will be reviewed with the Lasso of Truth. Winners get Sideshow rewards for their account and bragging rights.

Daily Wrap-Ups

Feeling overwhelmed, or like you might turn into a pumpkin soon? Not sure if you missed something that day? Be sure to check out the Daily Wrap-Up AKA That Sideshow Show, live from 5 PM to 6 PM PDT, exclusive to the Let Your Geek Sideshow Facebook Group.

There, our hosts will catch you up on all the latest news from that day’s celebration. All are welcome!

Game Shows

The Princess Week game shows include Cobbled Cosplay and a daring episode of Win, Lose, or DIE. The best part? We want YOU to sign up as participants! That’s right; we need contestants to play each game, and each contestant has a chance to win an awesome prize. Starting April 19 at midnight, you can enter for your chance to be a contestant on one of these shows at our official contestant search Gleam. Act fast, because registration closes on April 28 at noon Pacific. Need more information? Here’s a breakdown of each game.*

*Please note: If you are chosen, you do not get to choose specifically which gameshow you will be in.

Cobbled Cosplay

If you love costumes, makeup, and watching people stress out over time constraints and fashion faux-pas, Cobbled Cosplay is the one for you. Contestants will play by proxy, aligning themselves with one of our two cosplayers, one of whom will be crowned Cobbled Cosplay champion!

If their proxy player wins, the winner will take home a prize, but to find out what you can win, you’ll simply have to wait in your tower to find out.

Win, Lose, or DIE

If you like Dungeons and Dragons and horror stories, Win, Lose, or Die is the one for you! This is a cutthroat Choose Your Own Adventure style game that results in somebody either going home with all the glory (an amazing prize!) or DYING (losing their shot at the prize). You have to make it through all ten steps of the game to reach the final step, so, if you die, someone will take your place and you’ll be gone for good.

We did say cutthroat, remember?

The game will be hosted by Jasmine Edwards, sharing an original story called Trial By Fire.

If any or all of these game shows sound fun to you, you can register for a chance to play—and a chance to win—during Sideshow’s Princess Week here.

Players will have to carefully adhere to the instructions to claim their spot. You may also get chosen as a runner up or alternate, not a main player. If you are selected as an alternate, the best way to improve your chances to actually play is by following instructions carefully.

We look forward to playing with you!
