Also included are accessories of the protagonists of the series, such as Dustin’s cap and Eleven’s helmet. You can also play minigames where you can compete in leaderboard challenges and buy additional cosmetic items.

According to Chris Lee, director of interactive games at Netflix, Roblox provides a platform in which creativity and storytelling come to life , something very natural for Netflix and Stranger Things.

Cosméticos

The vice president of brand associations at Roblox, Christina Wootton, has stated that Roblox is a social gathering place, and with this collaboration with Stranger Things they wanted to reflect that this mall from the 80s was also a place where teenagers met. “Stranger Things is one of Netflix’s most iconic shows, and it now has a persistent space on the Roblox Metaverse where fans can experience and interact with the franchise in exciting new ways,” he adds.

The four mini-games, in detail

The four interactive Stranger Things minigames on Roblox are as follows:

  1. Escape from Hawkins’ Laboratory (multiplayer – 5v1): a game that emulates the classic game of cat and mouse.
  2. Dice duel (1-2 players): we will have to choose our character and face an opponent controlled by the AI in a turn-based dice battle.
  3. High Scoring Slingshot (1 Player) – Players must demonstrate their aim with a slingshot in a shooting gallery.
  4. Delivery (1 Player) – A timed competition where Scoops Ahoy Ice Cream is delivered to shoppers throughout the mall.
