WHAT IS... THE ULTIMATE FAN EXPERIENCE?

Inspired by Who Was? – the #1 New York Times bestselling history and biography series – the Official Who Was? Ultimate Fan Experience is a summer reading celebration of history’s iconic trailblazers, innovators, important events and beyond. From July 13th to August 3rd, the official Who Was? van will bring live trivia shows, giveaways, crafts, and more to events at bookstores along the east coast.

WHAT IS... HAPPENING AT THE EVENTS?

Get ready to get hooked on history, win prizes, and more! Each event will have activities for the whole family:

  • The Who Was? Trivia Show – Show off your knowledge about sports, science, pop culture and beyond in a game show-inspired trivia contest and win special prizes!
  • Who Are YOU? Photo Op – Dress up as your favorite historical icon, or create a mask at our craft station to pose in front of a Who Was? backdrop so you can be the hero of your very own “Who Is?” book cover!
  • Vote for the next Who Was? Book Subject – Cast your vote for who you’d like to see star in the next Who Was? biography.
  • Craft and Activity Table – Create your own bobblehead mask with the faces of several of history’s iconic figures, create your own custom Who Is? biography, and much more.
  • Prize Wheel – Take a spin on the Who HQ prize wheel to win exclusive prizes!
