New D&D x Stranger Things boxed set brings Upside Down play to tables

A Stranger Things-themed Dungeons & Dragons boxed set titled Welcome to the Hellfire Club arrived on Jan. 15, 2026, offering a compact 3–5 player experience that mixes classic D&D mechanics with the show’s retro horror vibe. The physical set carries a manufacturer suggested price of US$49.99 and is designed to be a grab-and-go package for new groups, one-shots, and pickup tables at conventions or local game nights.

The boxed set bundles tangible tabletop tools with branded Stranger Things flair. Components include retro-style cards, themed character sheets, and a Dungeon Master’s screen tailored to the setting’s tone. Players who prefer a hybrid experience can opt for digital and Ultimate Bundle options that add Upside Down digital extras when purchased through D&D Beyond; these bundles notably include an Upside Down digital dice set and a map and sticker pack to enrich virtual and in-person play.

Retail availability is broad: copies are circulating at D&D Beyond storefronts, local game stores, Amazon, and Barnes & Noble. Verify stock with your local game store if you prefer to buy from brick-and-mortar shops, or check D&D Beyond for the digital bundle options that sync to campaign bookkeeping and dice rollers.

Content-wise, the set embraces Stranger Things staples and frames adventures around encounters and locales familiar to fans. Expect hooks and adversaries keyed to the Upside Down such as Demogorgons and Demodogs, and evocative environments like the Vale of Shadows, making it straightforward to run episodes that feel like classic show beats while using D&D rules. That combination lowers the barrier for show fans curious about tabletop roleplaying and gives D&D players a thematic toolkit for short campaigns or connected sessions.

For Dungeon Masters, the boxed set simplifies prep: premade flavor elements and maps accelerate session setup, while the DM’s screen helps protect surprises from players who’ve binged the series. For store owners and event organizers, the set is an easy sell to cross-over audiences—movie and TV tie-ins often pull in casual players and collectors alongside veteran GMs.

What this means going forward is clear: Welcome to the Hellfire Club offers an accessible entry point for Stranger Things fans to roll for initiative in the Upside Down and a convenient pick for groups wanting a themed one-shot. Check local shelves or D&D Beyond bundles for the digital extras, and consider running a short Hellfire Club night to introduce players to both the setting and the system.
