The ‘Detective Pikachu’ SDCC Activation Was Filled with Easter Eggs and a Clean Subway
To promote the upcoming home video release of Detective Pikachu, Warner Bros. built a small cross-section of Ryme City and planted it right in front of the San Diego Convention Center. The activation takes fans from a subway car, to a noir-inspired back alley, and several other locales full of fan-pleasing details.
