Gather around the wizards, clerics, rogues, and friends for Bard's Night Bash. We're using a bardic inspiration to level up the official after party. There will be D&D gaming, interactive activities, a DJ, Bar (drinks for purchase), and a whole lot of fantasy fun.

The apocalypse is on the line. Start at the Supernatural Impala in the Community Zone and track down all 8 seals—symbols tied to the breaking of Lucifer’s cage. Each one is hidden somewhere across the show floor. Think like a Winchester. The hunt is on.

One duck to rule them all? Dozens are scattered across the different rooms, but only a rare few are forged in the realm of the Middle-earth. Find a Lord of the Rings Duck, and you'll be rewarded. Take your duck to the info desk to receive your prize. Find any other themed duck and keep them for your collection. Your quest begins at the show.
