Event Duration and Vecna's Influence
The Brawl Stars Stranger Things Crossover is a limited-time event, running for just under a month. The collaboration starts on November 6th and will conclude on December 3rd. During this period, Vecna's influence has breached the Brawl Stars universe, tearing open a portal to the Upside Down.
Players should maximize their activity within this timeframe to discover a whole host of themed modes, maps, boss battles, skins, power-ups, and rewards. Given the exclusive nature of these rewards, prioritizing event quests is highly recommended to secure all items before the portal closes permanently.
New Event Content – Upside Showdown Mode
The core gameplay experience introduced by the Brawl Stars Stranger Things Crossover is the brand-new, limited-time Upside Showdown Mode. This exciting mode puts a fresh twist on the traditional Showdown experience by cleverly combining familiar survival gameplay with roguelite progression mechanics. This integration makes every match of Upside Showdown Mode feel unique and strategically challenging.
A single match consists of five increasingly difficult rounds. The roguelite element comes into play before entering a new stage: players are given the strategic choice to select a temporary Power Card to enhance their Brawler for the upcoming round. These cards offer a range of temporary buffs, from stronger attacks and defensive barriers to improved mobility and utility effects.
Progression is highly competitive: only the top four players in each stage are allowed to advance, while the others face immediate elimination. The ultimate goal is to survive through all five rounds to secure the best rewards and make it back to the "right side up". If you successfully emerge as the ultimate victor, you will be greeted with the iconic message: "Winner, winner, waffle dinner!", celebrating your dominance in the New Brawl Stars Season 44.
Exclusive Stranger Things Brawl Stars Skins
The main attraction of the Brawl Stars Stranger Things collaboration is the chance to play as fan-favorite characters from the series. This event introduces six exclusive themed skins, allowing players to dress their Brawlers in "homegrown Hawkins skins". These new Stranger Things Brawl Stars Skins are available through various methods, including the New Brawl Stars Season 44 Brawl Pass, the event shop (using Waffles), or special bundles.
As you noted, many skins have multiple "Chroma" variants, offering different styles for the same character. Here is a complete breakdown of all event skins and how to obtain them:

Hawkins Hunt: New PVE Boss Fights
As part of the Brawl Stars Stranger Things Crossover, Vecna's influence has breached the universe, unleashing new threats. The central PVE event for the New Brawl Stars Season 44 is Hawkins Hunt, a mode where players must team up with two other Brawlers (forming a 3-player squad) to overcome the horrors leaking from the Upside Down.
The event is structured into five stages of increasing difficulty. Teamwork is essential, as "friends don't lie," and players must collaborate to succeed. Successfully winning each stage rewards players with "sweet Waffles", which serve as the special event currency for this Brawl Stars Stranger Things event.
During these Boss Fights, players will face three major antagonists from the collaboration:
- The Demogorgon: One of the most iconic monsters from the Stranger Things series.
- Vecna: The main antagonist himself will also emerge as a powerful enemy during the battles.
- Spirit Frank: A special version of the fan-favorite Epic Brawler, described as Frank being "possessed by a Spirit Knight and rampaging across the Arena".
Waffles: The Upside Down Event Currency
The Brawl Stars Stranger Things Crossover introduces a unique, limited-time event currency: Waffles. Once a "noble breakfast food", this currency now functions similarly to previous food-themed items like Pizza Slices and Sushi Rolls. To help everyone get started, players will receive some free Waffles at the beginning of the event.
How to Earn Waffles
Throughout the New Brawl Stars Season 44 event, players can earn Waffles in multiple ways:
- Participating in the new Upside Showdown mode.
- Successfully completing Hawkins Hunt Boss Fights against Vecna, the Demogorgon, and Spirit Frank.
- Finishing Mega Quests and achieving Daily Wins.
- Claiming free Waffles from the Shop.
How to Spend Waffles
Your hard-earned Waffles have several key uses in the event shop. The primary use is to purchase Brawler Decks. These decks are essential as they unlock Brawlers for you to use in the event-specific modes, Upside Showdown and Hawkins Hunt. Waffles can also be exchanged for Card Packs and specific Ability Cards to upgrade your Brawlers. Additionally, the currency can be spent to unlock various power-ups, cosmetics, and collectibles related to the event.
Themed Maps: Welcome to the Upside Down
To fully immerse players in the Brawl Stars Stranger Things Crossover, the event introduces specially themed maps for both standard 3v3 and Showdown game modes. These maps are not entirely new locations but rather transformations of familiar areas within Starr Park.
The New Brawl Stars Season 44 event adds a darker, Stranger Things-inspired aesthetic to the gameplay. Players can expect eerie visuals, darker atmospheres, and new strategic elements directly inspired by the Upside Down. This thematic overhaul ensures that every match, even in standard modes, feels fresh, immersive, and aligned with the spooky tone of the collaboration.
Brawl Pass Season 44: Complete Reward List
The New Brawl Stars Season 44 introduces a feature-packed Brawl Pass, which is the primary way to earn the exclusive Brawl Stars Stranger Things Crossover rewards. This pass is divided into three distinct tracks: the Free Pass, the standard Brawl Pass (paid), and the premium Brawl Pass Plus. While the Free Pass offers substantial rewards, the paid tracks are essential for unlocking the Stranger Things Brawl Stars Skins.
