According to Chips Ahoy!, the cookies will be available for purchase at grocery stores nationwide on Monday, Aug. 11.
But the cookies weren’t the only Chips Ahoy! x “Stranger Things” product to make its debut, as fans are invited to step into the Upside Down through an immersive augmented reality game accessible via a QR code printed on the package or by visiting chipsahoyscan.com.
Playing the game, other than for the fun of it, gives you the chance to win exclusive prizes, including an Eddie Munson-inspired guitar in addition to other limited-edition “Stranger Things” merch.
The game will be accessible from Monday, Aug. 11 through Wednesday, Dec. 31, the same day the final volume of “Stranger Things” Season 5 premieres on Netflix.
Chips Ahoy! has also released “retro-inspired Original Chips Ahoy! packs that harken back to the look and feel of the 1980s Chips Ahoy! packaging when ‘Stranger Things’ takes place.”

According to Chips Ahoy!, it is the brand’s first-ever fruit-flavored filling and is meant to represent “the Rifts” that serve as the entrance to the “Upside Down.” The packaging also “incorporates quintessential design elements from the show and a special glow-in-the-dark feature.”
