Pinup Girl, Scarecrow, and Dollface stalk players across 5 of Roblox games, where fans and players can unlock signed merch, collectibles, and more
LOS ANGELES, Oct. 20, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Lionsgate, in collaboration with Virtual Brand Group (VBG) and Super League, has announced the launch of The Strangers: Chapter 2 immersive survival experience within multiple games on Roblox, an immersive gaming & creation platform with 111.8 million daily active users. A one-of-a-kind activation, just in time for the Halloween season, drops fans into the infamous cabin setting inspired by the movie and challenges them to survive against the masked killers stalking five popular Roblox games.
Five Worlds. Endless Fear.
Launching inside Build an Island, Skinwalkers, Dudes Battlegrounds, Escape and Survive Head, and Dungeon Saga, players aged 13+ must escape the relentless terror of Pinup Girl, Scarecrow, and Dollface. Each escape-room-style mini-game offers unique survival challenges in one of Roblox’s most popular genres.
“Forget haunted houses and candy, for Gen Z, the scariest place this Halloween is inside their favorite game, where the reward is killer prizes,” said Justin W. Hochberg, CEO of Virtual Brand Group. “The Strangers: Chapter 2 experience on Roblox shows how immersive marketing blends content and real-world activations into playable cultural moments fans want to live.”
“Major entertainment studios have embraced Roblox as an essential marketing platform to build awareness and community excitement among younger generations. Other digital advertising solutions just cannot deliver the same powerful outcome: immersive, interactive, long-term audience engagement,” said Matt Edelman, CEO of Super League. “Playable spaces become instant cultural touchpoints where fans can live inside the universe of a film before and after its theatrical run, and where real-time connections with friends – and strangers – drive outsized enthusiasm.”
Tapping Into a Survival Gaming Trend
Survival remains one of the hottest categories on Roblox, with 5 of the top 20 most-played games falling into this genre according to Super League’s Rotrends.com (as of Sept 15, 2025). Hits like 99 Nights in the Forest (#2), Forsaken (#6), Murder Mystery 2 (#14), Evade (#18), and Dandy’s World (#20) have captured millions of players, proving the appetite for high-stakes, edge-of-your-seat experiences.
And with the Halloween season marking one of the peak periods for player activity on Roblox, this activation brings The Strangers: Chapter 2 into the platform at the exact moment audiences are most primed for horror, thrills, and immersive seasonal play.
Rewards for the Fearless
Fans who play The Strangers: Chapter 2 experience on Roblox have a chance to unlock exciting rewards via the Lionsgate virtual Movie Store: unlockables.gg/moviestore.
