Stranger Things has outdone itself in marketing for its final season, with multiple pop-up stores, fan events, and other interactive experiences globally in place for Hawkins loyalists. Among all this is WSQK’s special, but many are now rightly wondering if stateside viewers will get to participate in it as well.

With volume one of the beloved Netflix IP having aired already, the hype for Stranger Things 5 is at an all-time high, and no one wants to miss any development concerning it. Everything is not for everyone, though, or is it?

With the American Stranger Things audience wanting a stake in what WSQK has planned for the across-the-pond crowd, exploring the details of it becomes essential.

WSQK is a special radio experience created for UK Stranger Things viewers, and they recently sent an invite to those in the region to participate in a code-breaking challenge, which will be signaled on December 3, to unlock tickets to a secret event. The engagement, neither the challenge nor the event that it will unlock, will be accessible to US audiences for obvious reasons of it being designed for the UK alone.

The latest invite by WSQK, meanwhile, sent a reprieve to UK viewers who may fail to crack the code to get early access to the event still hidden. The radio station mentioned that people who miss out on the challenge will be able to buy tickets starting December 4.

Beyond the recently revealed challenge, WSQK streams 24/7 80s hits, hosted by DJs Vance Goodman and Mindy Flare. The station also features segments like Rewind at 9: Turning Hawkins Upside Down, Talk To Tammy, and Dial-A-Dedication, alongside throwback jingles and in-universe ads, delivering an authentic retro radio experience in the UK.

Launched on November 24 on Global Player and running until January 1, WSQK offers UK audiences a full Stranger Things immersion, from music to interactive mysteries, keeping the Upside Down close at hand as season 5 unfolds. US viewers, meanwhile, should not be very bummed about not living this experience and start preparing for the big-screen party of the sci-fi title.

When Does 'Stranger Things 5' Volume 2 Come Out? Part Two: Release Date, Time, and All About Netflix Grand Finale

Amid exploration of a Stranger Things spin-off, Netflix is going all out for the IP’s finale with advance tickets for its limited theatrical run now on sale.

The last Stranger Things episode will be in theaters for a special two-day event across 500 locations in the US and Canada. The episode will premiere in cinemas on December 31 and January 1 to align with the episode's Netflix release to avoid spoilers and leaks.

Tickets for the same can be purchased now on st5finale.com. Netflix reportedly will not take any money from this screening excursion.

So, while WSQK’s immersive Stranger Things experience remains a UK-exclusive adventure, the American masses still have their own way to celebrate the series’ epic conclusion. With the season 5 finale hitting theaters across the US and Canada, viewers can join the excitement on the big screen, ensuring that Hawkins’ thrilling mysteries reach aficionados far and wide, even across the Atlantic.
