Stranger Things Arcade Redemption Game

The licence leads here. Raw Thrills holds Stranger Things from Netflix and spends it on a physical ball-throwing cabinet rather than a screen-and-buttons upright. One to four players throw at Demogorgons, Demobats, Demodogs and Vecna himself across locations from the series, with the show's characters and its soundtrack carrying the play. Raw Thrills reads every throw with its own sensing system, Thrill-Scan, and credits it with pinpoint accuracy, which is the one problem a throwing game has to solve before anything else about it matters.

The size follows from a game four people play standing up. Installed, the cabinet is 94 inches wide, 104 inches deep and 118 inches tall, and it weighs 2,231 pounds. Raw Thrills also publishes a separate recommended minimum floor space of 96 by 148 inches with 120 inches of height, which is the number to plan a room against. It arrives on two pallets weighing 1,305 and 926 pounds. Power is 120V/60Hz at 5A, or 230V/50/60Hz at 3A. Raw Thrills built the game for all ages.

Raw Thrills publishes two sets of dimensions for this game, and they are not interchangeable. The installed dimensions, 94 by 104 by 118 inches, describe the machine. The recommended minimum floor space, 96 by 148 inches with 120 inches of height, describes the space to reserve for it. The gap between them is 44 inches of depth plus 2 inches of width and 2 inches of height. Most arcade cabinets publish only the first figure, so anyone used to reading spec sheets can plan against the cabinet and come up nearly four feet short in depth on the day it lands.

Check height twice: once for the room, once for the route in. The finished game is 118 inches tall against a published 120-inch allowance, so a 10-foot ceiling is the working minimum and an 8-foot ceiling is out of the question, sprinklers and ductwork included. The pallets are lower but still tall, at 83 inches for the main cabinet and 86 inches for the pedestal. That is more than 7 feet before a pallet jack lifts anything, which puts low door headers, garage openings and elevator cabs in the same category of thing to measure.

Two pallets rather than one changes what receiving has to do. The main cabinet pallet is 48 inches wide at 1,305 pounds; the pedestal pallet is 37 inches wide at 926 pounds. Doors, corridors and turns should be measured against those two widths, not against the 94-inch installed width, because the game is not 94 inches wide until it is standing in the room. The 1,305-pound pallet is the one that sets the equipment list, and both pallets have to reach the same spot, so a route that works for the pedestal and not the main cabinet is not a route.

Weight matters after the delivery too. At 2,231 pounds spread over a 94 by 104 inch footprint, this is a fixed installation rather than a cabinet that gets nudged around when the floor plan changes, so settle sightlines, queuing space and traffic flow before it arrives. The electrical side asks for very little by comparison: 120V/60Hz at 5A domestically, or 230V/50/60Hz at 3A where a room is wired for it, published as one service rating per voltage.
