The game is centered on the [Netflix](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stranger-things-puzzle-tales) show Stranger Things and merges it with all of the familiar notions of the 80s including famous people, events, movies, trends, technology and beyond. This offers something of a balance between the actual decade itself and the modern era show that has once again drummed up a distinct attention to 80s nostalgia for consumers of all ages. The Trivial Pursuit Stranger Things Back to The 80s Edition board game is also peppered with [Stranger Things questions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stranger-things-the-official-cookbook) to make it a must for avid fans of the Netflix original show. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.5/10 - Popularity: 28% | Activity: 39% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Life-Stages](https://www.trendhunter.com/life-stages) > [Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/toys) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **80s Nostalgia:** There is an opportunity to create more board games, movies, or TV shows that tap into the nostalgia of the 1980s. - **Branded Board Games:** Brands can collaborate with board game makers to create custom, branded versions of classic board games to attract fans of both the brand and the game. - **Cross-promotion:** There is an opportunity to cross-promote TV shows and board games to attract fans to both mediums. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Board Game Industry:** Board game makers can create more nostalgic games for those seeking to relive the 1980s era. - **Entertainment Industry:** Brands, movies, or TV shows can partner with board game makers to create branded versions of classic board games to tap into a wider audience. - **Marketing Industry:** Marketing agencies can collaborate with board game makers and TV show producers to cross-promote their products and attract fans to both mediums. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sci-Fi Series-Inspired Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stranger-things-puzzle-tales.md) - [Show-Inspired Fantasy Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hellfire-club-game.md) - [Immersive RGB Show Puzzles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clementoni.md) - [Bar-Inspired Trivia Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pub-quiz-the-board-game.md) - [Nostalgic Song Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/80s-and-90s-hum-the-song-game.md) - [80s-Themed Racer Board Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/thunder-road-vendetta-board-game.md) - [Streaming Service Brainteaser Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/netflix-puzzled.md) - [Age-Inclusive Board Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hasbro-5.md) - [Show-Inspired Miniature Toy Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stranger-things-polly-pocket.md)
