Know more about The Umbrella Academy siblings and their super-rooms:
Luther
As the leader of The Umbrella Academy, Luther possesses super strength, which is reflected in his room. Everything in the room is miniature sized which makes you look super big and super strong!
Diego
True to Diego’s vigilante character, his Super Room is styled as a dark hero’s lair, complete with gadgets and target practice (he’s good at throwing knives).
Allison
Channel your inner star a la Allison, with a room styled as a recording studio filled with musical and movie memorabilia. Hint: You’ll probably need to flex your vocals for this one.
Klaus
Party the night away like Klaus, whose room is designed like a neon-lit dive bar.
The Boy
The Boy possesses unique time-traveling abilities, but somehow has managed to stay (and look) the same age. His nostalgic-themed room will definitely give you some major throwback.
Ben
This sibling from The Umbrella Academy passed away several years before the current events of the series…. Be warned: Only the bravest and most daring can solve this room.
Vanya
Unlike the rest of the heroes, Vanya doesn’t have any powers. Instead, she finds herself entangled with the group after writing a tell-all book about their family. Her room is themed as an author’s study.
About The Umbrella Academy
On the same day in 1989, forty-three infants are inexplicably born to random, unconnected women who showed no signs of pregnancy the day before. Seven are adopted by a billionaire who creates The Umbrella Academy and prepares his “children” to save the world. Now, the six surviving members reunite upon the news of their father’s passing and must work together to solve a mystery surrounding his death. But the estranged family begins to come apart due to their divergent personalities and abilities, not to mention the imminent threat of a global apocalypse. The Umbrella Academy is based on the comic book series created and written by Gerard Way, illustrated by Gabriel Bá, and published by Dark Horse Comics. The show is produced by Universal Cable Productions for Netflix, with Steve Blackman serving as executive producer and showrunner, and additional EPs Jeff F. King, Mike Richardson, Keith Goldberg, Gerard Way, and Gabriel Bá.
