The portal to the Upside Down has already swung open. That’s right—Stranger Things has officially invaded Starr Park in Brawl Stars. Supercell is teaming up with Netflix just before the fifth season premieres on November 26th at 5 pm PT. This crossover event runs from November 6th through December 3rd, 2025.
Things are about to get… Strange!
Dive into a darker, Stranger Things-themed version of Starr Park, now haunted by Demogorgons and Vecna. The highlight? A brand-new collectible that will instantly remind you of Eleven: Waffles!
Waffles act as the exclusive currency for this Brawl Stars x Stranger Things collaboration. Spend them to unlock special cosmetics, power-ups, and rare collectibles.
The event introduces a host of iconic skins from the Netflix hit series. Look out for Draco dressed as Eddie Munson, Bull as Hopper, Lumi as Eleven, and Gus as Will. Nita takes on the role of Dustin, while Berry sports Steve’s classic Scoops Ahoy uniform.
Brawl Stars x Stranger Things brings a new game mode
Welcome to Upside Showdown. This mode reimagines the traditional Showdown experience by blending roguelite elements with battle royale gameplay. Before each round, you’ll receive temporary Power Cards that enhance your selected Brawler’s abilities.
Survive five rounds and make it back to the surface to claim maximum rewards. And yes, the tagline is just as catchy: “Winner, winner, waffle dinner!”
Team up to take on Vecna or the Demogorgon in exclusive co-op challenges. The themed 3v3 and Showdown maps have also received a visual overhaul, swapping Starr Park’s vibrant aesthetic for the eerie, dim atmosphere of the Upside Down.
