Five spots across Poblacion, one of the hippest hangout districts in Metro Manila, were reimagined as some of Hawkins' most recognizable landmarks.

The creative playground and social club, The Annex House was transformed into the “Byers House” where the iconic “Alphabet Wall” can be found. In Season 1, Will and his mom, Joyce, played by Noah Schnapp and Winona Ryder, respectively, used the Alphabet Wall Christmas lights to communicate with each other. Since then, it has become one of the favorite scenes in the series.

The Fun Roof housed the “Starcourt Mall,” the central location of “Stranger Things” Season 3. It was among the most interactive areas where fans played different games, including Steve's (Joe Keery) Batting Cage.
