Differences between the locations
In Philadelphia, the attractions will be themed around the anime "One Piece" and the horror comedy "Wednesday". The mini-golf game "Top 9" is also on offer. The nine-hole course is inspired by Netflix's best-known series. These include "Stranger Things", "Squid Game", "Bridgerton", "Is It Cake?", "Love is Blind", "Floor is Lava" and "WWE". VR goggles allow visitors to take part as the main characters themselves. The offer is limited to "Squid Game" and "Rebel Moon".

In Dallas, the Netflix House will focus primarily on "Stranger Things" and "Squid Game". Within "Replay", Netflix wants to offer physical games, such as dodging lava from the show "Floor is Lava" and sealing cracks in the shadow world as in "Stranger Things". However, there are also classic video games on offer that require quick thinking.
There is no more detailed information yet on the opening of a "Netflix House" in Las Vegas.
