Featuring Netflix’s hit series, Stranger Things – The Encounter is an immersive retail experience that took visitors on an audio-visual journey through seven iconic locations in Hawkins. Spanning a total of 10,000 sq ft, the exhibition showcased recreations of the original themed sets, brought to life through experiential design. To capture the narrative’s essence, our team paid meticulous attention to craftsmanship and details during the production and assembly process.
The entrance showcased a captivating walkway adorned with an illuminated Stranger Things signage, mounted on a sleek matte black wall panel. Complementing the iconic logo, the sides of the structure were fitted with polished black mirror laminates, creating a striking illusion of space and depth. Alongside rows of vibrant flexi neon light strips meticulously arranged in a horizontal orientation, the walkway was bathed in a soft, alluring red glow, completing the mysterious ambience of the space.

Featuring a range of installations such as a mission control panel, a half-hexagonal promethium canister cabinet, and a circular rift machine, The Lab was built to provide visitors with an immersive encounter, engaging them in an interactive arcade-inspired activity.
Over at Upside Down, three-dimensional vines coated in UV paint were sprawled across the space, adorning the surfaces of the stained concrete-textured walls. Extending from the floor to the ceiling, the tendrils were fabricated to form a network of vibrant vines that intertwined and swirled through the space. As the ceiling-mounted ultraviolet lights shone on the installation, an enchanting luminance was reflected off the vines, revealing the intricate details, curvatures, and textures of the meticulously crafted tendrils.
“From props to the iconic scene designs, replicas of the original themed sets were meticulously fabricated and installed across different rooms to bring the narrative to life.”
Rounding up the journey, the Starcourt Mall invites visitors to a vibrant retail and F&B zone, offering an exclusive range of Stranger Things merchandise and food options. At the heart of the space, a striking metal grid structure is suspended from the lofty ceiling, adorned with a life-sized die-cut Stranger Things logo display. Surrounding the installation, a range of customised builds in bold and vivid colours were fabricated to deck the space, creating a dynamic and uplifting mood within the enclosed set-up.
