2010: Play the Dexter Game on at Comic-Con!

Players of Dexter Game On are asked to step into Dexter's mind to unlock exclusive content from the series' upcoming fifth season and for a chance to pick up Dexter-themed merchandise, including Season Four DVD's. Devoted fans of the series know that all of Dexter's victims are marked with a small incision on their right cheek, and at Comic-Con, those fans can show their love for the series by sporting a Dexter "cheek slash" tattoo. Showtime will hand out over 100,000 lick-'n-stick tattoos during all four days of Comic-Con. Tattoos will be available throughout the convention floor, at the Showtime booth (#4129), and will be distributed by street teams outside the convention center.

"At Showtime, we pride ourselves for being at the cutting edge of technology and are excited to be the first television network to join forces with SCVNGR," said Robert Hayes, Senior Vice President and General Manager

, Digital Media, Showtime Networks Inc. "Comic-Con is the perfect venue to further engage our loyal fans with this robust interactive social media game, while providing added value to our over three million Dexter fans on Facebook."

"The Dexter challenges on SCVNGR are truly killer," said Seth Priebatsch, Chief Ninja of SCVNGR. "Fans should grab the SCVNGR app and play Dexter Game On at Comic-Con, and all across the country to help unlock an exclusive sneak peek at the upcoming fifth season of Dexter."
