Summer break has never been more exciting, especially with Abbott Elementary in attendance at this year’s Comic Con.

Upon entry, guests will be divided into one of the five factions from the show and given the reins to drive their team’s chariot to victory. It’s a must-see activation that promises excitement and a unique taste of ancient Roman spectacle.
