Calling all gamers!

Get your thumbs ready for Game Changers – a highly-interactive, travelling exhibition that explores how technological innovations have transformed the world of video games. Try your hand at playing 17 games that have significantly changed the gaming experience, including Pac-Man, Super Mario Bros., Tetris, Angry Birds, Space Invaders, Flower, and Adventure.

Game Changers presents 120 of the most influential games in history. The exhibition explores how the intersection of audio, storytelling, graphics, and gameplay creates the immersive environment of today’s video gaming systems. From memorable Pong to the photorealistic games of today, visitors get to “live” the video game evolution and explore the future of gaming.
