Remember the latest facet of HBO’s #ForTheThrone campaign we reported on? It looks like the hunt is well under way, with two of the six thrones already discovered…
Sky Atlantic shared the news that the first throne has been found. It was located in, as many of our commenters guessed, Puzzlewood in Gloucestershire, England, a well-known Game of Thrones location throughout the years—since the very beginning, in fact.

Also, a second video on the official site, entitled ‘Throne of the North,’ revealed a far icier back drop than the lush greens of Puzzlewood. Speculation was rife that this snowy scene might be Iceland, given the show’s history with the country but, as HBO Nordic later revealed, the Throne had been discovered in Björkliden, Sweden!

At the time of writing there are four empty empty video slots on the #ForTheThrone page and just under two weeks to go on the countdown clock, which presumably means four more thrones to find before the month is out!
Where do you think the next throne will be located and what will it represent? What are we getting at the end of this real-world viral hunt? Speculate away folks!
Hodor!
Puzzlewood is just down the road from me.
A bit annoying because you have to pay to get in there.
Somebody must be making a nice little earner from this.
Malta. Season 1 kl if I remember correctly.
This reminds me of willy wonka lol
New trailer at the end maybe?
Jack Bauer 24,
When is the end? Is it one chair per week or 2 per week?
I just noticed it ends on April 3rd, which is the Red Carpet premiere.
Well there probably wont be one in Syria.
Maybe somewhere in Croatia, though there’s already one on Lokrum island, I’m guessing maybe some other wild Croatian location.

Jack Bauer 24,
Morocco?
Not sure. They just added another https://twitter.com/GameOfThrones/status/1109112753699123201
That one is Spain. There’s only 2 left after these and the countdown is at 11 days, so they should be claimed before then.
There has to be in Northern Ireland.
So Throne three has been found.

I live in Gloucestershire, never heard of Puzzlewood or that it was linked to Game of Thrones so this is a big surprise to me!
It’s on the Monmouth road close to Coleford in the Forest of Dean.
It’s been used for a number of Sword & Sorcery shows like “Merlin” and “Excalibur” as well as “Star Wars: The Force Awakens”. It’s worth checking out, but make sure you go in dry weather as it gets very boggy.

Thanks it’s the other side of the county for me but I will likely check it out with the family this summer.
