Sound good?
Well, I experienced this and I have to say I LOVED EVERY SECOND!
Anyone who knows me knows I am a massive fan of the show. I was super excited to attend this event, which is/soon to be located in Brent Cross in Northwest London.
I had bought two VIP tickets, one for me and one for someone I knew from being a fan of a band I like. Still, she never showed up, so I was alone – and as annoyed as I had been, I enjoyed this event far better on my own – I got two VIP lanyards, two free drink vouchers, two free gift bags – which was a Stranger Things: The Experience Tote Bag(s), and Dustin Bluetooth speaker(s).
The Experience was excellent, and if I could go again and do it over again for the first time, I would! The Hawkins Lab escape was similar to an escape room challenge, and I felt I was actually in an episode of Stranger Things. The challenge had a number of us, in a group, try to escape using our “powers” we were given in the Rainbow Room. We were greeted and guided by Erica and Dustin whilst still in the Rainbow Room to escape to the technician room, where Mike, Lucas, and Will were on a displayed computer screen. This challenge involved us to do something, but I’m not at liberty to share the details! I will say that during this challenge, I hid behind a few people before being called upon by Mike, Lucas, and Will to direct everyone to the next challenge, which took us to another realm… The Upside Down!
This experience was nothing I had ever experienced before, and I enjoyed every single second of it! Just writing this review on my experience is giving me excited vibes all over again. It was just phenomenal, and I would absolutely love to go again if this experience comes back to London.
I dressed up as Max and ended up being involved in some “directing” on a scene that the staff at Family Video were doing; it was awesome!
Since writing this review, The Stranger Things Experience has sadly finished. I hope for the people reading this, you had the chance to go and for those who didn’t – I am sorry for your loss!
I came home with so many goodies I had to sit on my suitcase to close it once I packed away my travel essentials, change of clothes, and the stuff I bought from the experience too.
