By BrainFall Staff - Updated: April 2, 2024

Ever found yourself binging "Stranger Things" on Netflix and wondering which Hawkins resident you'd be slinging Eggo waffles with or running from the Demogorgon alongside? Well, fear not, fellow series enthusiasts, because we at BrainFall have cooked up a nostalgia-infused quiz that's as fun as Dustin's collection of hats!

Let's face it, we've all been there, parked on our couch, clutching our favorite snack, and thinking, "Would I be as brave as Eleven, or am I more of a tactical planner like Mike?" The characters of "Stranger Things" have snuck into our hearts, and it's only natural we want to join in on their Upside Down adventures. With a few clicks, our quiz will unravel the mystery. So grab your walkie-talkie, and let's see which character's shoes (or should we say telekinetic superpowers?) you would fill in the quaint town of Hawkins.

Discover Your Inner Hawkins Resident

Ready to find out which Hawkins hero you mirror? We’re diving headfirst into the heart of "Stranger Things" to pair you up with your series twin, from the courageous to the cunning, and the awkward to the iconic.

Hawkins 101

• Hawkins, Indiana: The small town with big secrets and even bigger monsters.
• The Upside Down: A dark and dangerous mirror of our world, where the air is thick with mystery and the vines are definitely not just for decoration.
• Science: More than just a school subject here, it's our key to unlocking the bizarre happenings around us.

Personality and Traits

Whether you're more of a G.I. Jane or a tranquil Barb, your inner traits shape your Hawkins persona. Take this as your ending clue: your place among our band of friends is less about who you punch and more about who you protect. It's your quirks—whether that's your voracious vulture-like curiosity or your devoted following—that tether you to your Stranger Things kindred spirit.

What's Next? Beyond the Quiz

After discovering which "Stranger Things" character soul twins with yours, you might be wondering what's next. You've aligned your spirit with a Hawkins resident, but let's bring that connection into the real world and perhaps even the broader tapestry of fandom. Fear not, we haven't binged all those episodes for nothing!

From Screen to Reality

You know that moment when the credits roll and you're slapped by the real world like a Demogorgon tail? Don't fret! Our favorite actors, like Millie Bobby Brown, haven't vanished; they're kicking butt in other roles. Think of Millie going full G.I. Jane mode onscreen, which is a total switch-up from her psychic teen character, showing her range and dedication. It's a testament to the potential that lies after your quiz result, reminding us that we too can channel our inner Eleven in reality—minus the nosebleeds, hopefully.

The Fandom Universe

Oh, the grand universe of fandom—where you can wear your love for "Stranger Things" like a badge of honor. Here's our endgame—dive into a parallel dimension where joining forums, donning that iconic trucker hat, or sipping some old-timey root beer intensifies your connection to the series. It's not just about the ending; it's about the journey. Build a following like you're running for mayor of Hawkins, and who knows? You might even bump into us, your fellow super-fans, dissecting theories on a vulture-sized obsession with the Upside Down. Cheers to embracing your quirkiness! They might not serve beer in the show, but we can toast with whatever floats our geeky boats.
