40 years of Tetris

London celebrated Tetris’s 40th anniversary with a giant interactive version of the classic game, hosted at the Outernet venue, which has massive four-story LED screens.

Attendees could join the game by scanning a QR code to connect their phones and then play as one of up to seven players at a time. Each participant controlled blocks of a unique color, navigating the pieces as they dropped on a huge screen. This event marked a first-of-its-kind installation, giving a fresh experience to both Tetris fans and newcomers, some of whom were unfamiliar with the iconic game. CEO Maya Rogers said this installation was meant to create a unique and joyful experience, showcasing Tetris’s universal appeal even after four decades.

Difficult words: interactive (involving communication between people or reactions between things that work together), iconic (very famous or popular), showcase (to show).
