# Show-Inspired Fantasy Games The Stranger Things Hellfire Club Game Highlights Eddie’s D&D By Amy Duong | Published 2025-07-31 | Pop Culture Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hellfire-club-game References: [polygon](https://www.polygon.com/news/615315/dnd-dungeons-dragons-welcome-hellfire-club-stranger-things-game)  The Stranger Things Hellfire Club game is a new collaboration between [Netflix](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/monopoly-stranger-things) and [Wizards of the Coast](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/demeo-x-dungeons-dragons-battlemarked), recreating Eddie Munson’s final Dungeons & Dragons campaign as seen in Stranger Things Season 4. Launching on October 7, the set includes four beginner‑friendly adventures based on 5th Edition D&D rules—featuring creatures like demodogs, demobats, and the newly introduced “demodragon.” Players follow Eddie’s storyline using tokens, cards, maps, a double‑sided Greyhawkins Hellfire Club poster, pre‑generated character sheets, and immersive in-world handouts. Designed for 3–5 players, the boxed set is available in physical form, a digital edition, or a combined “Ultimate Bundle." While long‑time D&D veterans might see it as a simplified board‑game hybrid, the package leans into ‘80s nostalgia—and offers fans a collectible, playable piece of Stranger Things lore.
