    Summit Teams Up with HGTV for Ender’s Game Home Makeover

    Enders-Game-Experience

    As we’ve discovered earlier today (see photo above), Summit has teamed up with Home and Garden TV for its Ender’s Game Experience. According to several news outlets, Summit and HGTV have issued a press release concerning HGTV’s involvement in the Experience as well as the home makeover visitors can hope to win.

    Inside the “Ender’s Game” activation, located outside the Hilton Gaslamp district, HGTV showcases its “Journey Begins at Home” space—an interpretation of the Wiggins home living room—among eight elaborate, specially constructed, unique rooms that represent the most iconic environments of Ender’s world, complete with original film props and set pieces used in the movie.

    Visitors will be able to “enter the sweepstakes for the chance to win $10,000 courtesy of HGTV for their own “out of this world” home makeover.”
