Netflix<\/a><\/span><\/em> officially opened Netflix House Dallas<\/a><\/span><\/em> late last year \u2013 a permanent entertainment venue where fans can interact with Netflix stories beyond the screen. One of the feature experiences that debuted at Netflix House Dallas is Stranger Things: Face the Dark<\/a><\/span><\/em>, a thrilling, immersive experience that invites visitors to step into an episode of the series.<\/p>\n

Alterface<\/a><\/span><\/em> provided the key interactive technology for the experience, supplying 560 devices designed to guide and immerse visitors in the story and environment. The company created devices with an 80s-inspired look, developed custom electronics, firmware, and software, and ensured seamless integration with the other technology vendors powering the attraction. The result is a system that responds dynamically to guests\u2019 movement throughout the experiences, creating a personalized journey.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith Stranger Things: Face the Dark, guests actually step into the world of Stranger Things and interact with the story in a way that feels natural and alive,\u201d said St\u00e9phane Battaille, CEO of Alterface. \u201cIt\u2019s the kind of next-generation immersive experience we strive to create, where technology operates invisibly to support the story.\u201d<\/p>\n

The experience is set in Hawkins, Indiana, following the events at the end of Season 4. Guests are joining search & rescue efforts to uncover the fate of missing citizens. Armed with a flashlight and headphones that feature binaural audio, they explore locations such as Castle Byers and Eddie Munson\u2019s trailer, looking for clues and reacting to unexpected thrills. Guests move at their own pace, guided by light and sound, along with some live actors, while the story adapts to individual and group actions for a unique, immersive adventure.<\/p>\n

Alterface\u2019s role in the development of this experience was to provide the interactive devices (headsets and flashlights) and the systems that deliver each guest with a fully personalized audio and visual experience, while interfacing in real time with the experience\u2019s other technology and scenic elements.<\/p>\n

This was made possible through a customized geolocation system that tracks every visitor in real time throughout the experience, enabling audio and visual feedback to respond instantly to each guest\u2019s actions and location. Guests quite literally hear what they see: when a visitor approaches a clue or event, only those nearby receive the corresponding sound, ensuring focus and immersion.<\/p>\n

Building on this, the system continuously adapts the narrative to each visitor\u2019s actions and location. If guests split up, the story follows them; if they move off the expected path, the narrative continues without interruption; and when groups regroup, storytelling synchronizes seamlessly. All of these adaptations happen without visible triggers, making the experience feel natural and responsive while managing dozens of guests simultaneously.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a unique challenge to integrate a fast and precise geolocation system, customized to deliver a personalized show for each guest,\u201d said Etienne Sainton, Product Manager at Alterface. \u201cThanks to our previous technology developments and the clear vision of every partner, this has become one of the most interesting and fun experiences we\u2019ve had the opportunity to bring to life.\u201d<\/p>\n
