Rather than enjoying a game of Tetris on the computer or through a handheld gaming device, those who visit Abeno Harukas in Osaka, Japan, now have the chance to play a classic game of Tetris on a building.
For a limited time, the arcade puzzle game is being projected onto a space that spans just about 40 feet in height, giving fans the chance to play an unforgettable round of Tetris Tower. Although there is no fee to play, those who wish to watch the game unfold from the tower's 58th floor are charged admission.
This year, Tetris is celebrating its 33rd anniversary, inspiring a new wave of nostalgic experiences that help gamers tap into the famous tile-matching video game,.
