40 years of Tetris

04-11-2024 15:00

Tetris celebrates 40th birthday. In London, they set up a big version of the game at Outernet.

The game uses very big screens. People scan a QR code on their phones to join the game. Up to seven players could play at the same time. Each player controls a different color block.

This event lets fans and new players enjoy Tetris differently. Some people never play Tetris before. They are excited to try it. Tetris’s boss, Maya Rogers, says that this big screen version is a special way to celebrate the game.

Difficult words: version (a way of doing something), join (to take part), excited (very happy).

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