Game of Thrones has arrived at SXSW with an interactive exhibition that allows fans to fight like Arya Stark and sit in the Iron Throne.

Game Of Thrones Exhibit #SXSWesteros

HBO’s Game of Thrones has taken over a small warehouse in Austin, Texas, to provide fans with an interactive GoT experience, called SXSWesteros. The exhibit features a host of fun games for fans, including an Oculus-facilitated virtual reality which allows fans to feel like they are climbing up the Wall of the North and a sword fighting game that helps players create their personalized Game of Thrones portrait.

HBO teamed up with Red Paper Heart studios to create the interactive games, but that’s not all that’s available to fans in Texas. The exhibit also features a new official Game of Thrones beer called Three-Eyed Raven, and, of course, an Iron Throne room where fans can get their portraits taken sitting in a replica of the iconic chair.

HBO is gearing up for Game of Thrones’ fifth season, which premieres April 12.
