NFT platform Candy Digital has released another “Stranger Things” minigame for Netflix, where players must solve riddles to earn NFTs of the stars of the show.But some fans aren’t happy.

The “Stranger Things”NFTsare 11,111 unique tokens on Candy Digital’sPalm blockchain—anEthereumlayer 2 sidechain—that signify ownership of one of five digital posters.

Back in April, Netflix quietly teased the NFT partnership with hidden messages in the Season 4 trailer for its hit original show.

Last week, about 4,700 players earned a free NFT poster of Eleven, the show’s lead played by Millie Bobbie Brown, by playing a mystery game involving a virtual “Stranger Things” laboratory.
