Chances are, if you’re anything like me, you’ve gotten into some verbal sparring matches with your mates over who knows more about your fave fictional universes. You best believe I’m up for the challenge if you want to go head-to-head on anything Harry Potter, The Lord of The Rings, Dune — the list goes on.
But, Audible is making it possible for people like me to walk the walk with their new ‘Secret Library’ escape room, coming to Oz Comic-Con in Melbourne in June. Oh, and you could win a trip for you and a mate to New York Comic Con later this year.
Yep, while fans of sci-fi and fantasy titles gather at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre across June 7 and 8, Audible is daring punters to see if they can conquer their escape room — but this’ll be no easy task. This multi-room escape challenge has taken direct inspiration from the worlds of Harry Potter, The Lord of the Rings, The Hunger Games, Dune, Fourth Wing, Project Hail Mary and Dungeon Crawler Carl and will really set apart the diehard fans from the rest.
We won’t give too much away about what lurks around every corner in this ‘Secret Library’, but you will need a sharp eye, a knowledge of fantasy’s most fearsome creature, a strong sense of direction and you might just need to know how you can transform into someone else entirely.
If you manage to defy the odds and conquer every task the ‘Secret Library’ throws at you, then you’ll be handsomely rewarded. We’re talking about 3-months of free Audible (perfect to continue sharpening your already impressive knowledge of sci-fi and fantasy titles). And, of course, you’ll also be entered into our competition to win a trip to New York Comic Con for you and a mate later this year. Not to mention return flights to Theig Apple, four nights accommodation and $500AUD spending money!
Feeling a little rusty on the deets of some of these classics? Well, you can head to Audible right now to listen to these titles and study up on some of the details. Trust us — they’ll really come in handy when it comes to taking on the ‘Secret Library’ at Oz Comic-Con Melbourne.
And while you’re there, you can gawk at just how huge Audible’s sci-fi and fantasy collection is. Remember the feeling you had the first time you found out just how Gandalf survived the Balrog, or learning that Katniss was going back into the arena? There are plenty of sci-fi and fantasy audiobooks on Audible that will give you that feeling and then some.
Be sure to check out Audible’s ‘Secret Library’ at Oz Comic-Con Melbourne on June 6 and 7 to be in with a shot to win a trip to New York Comic Con later this year. May the odds be ever in your favour.
