40 years of Tetris – level 2

40 years of Tetris

04-11-2024 15:00

London celebrated the 40th anniversary of Tetris, and the city hosted a big version of the game at the Outernet venue on four-story-high LED screens.

Players joined by scanning a QR code, which connected their phones to the game. Up to seven people could play at once. Each player controlled blocks of different colors as they fell on the giant screen.

This unique event gave fans a fresh way to enjoy Tetris, and many younger players were excited to try the game for the first time. Maya Rogers, the CEO of Tetris, highlighted the event as a fun way to bring Tetris to new audiences and celebrate its lasting popularity.

Difficult words: giant (very big), unique (very special), highlight (to make people know about something or someone).

You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.
