Giant Tetris Game Celebrates 40 Years in London’s Outernet

London’s Giant Tetris: Play with Blocks, Not Your Emotions!

The bustling streets of London are about to be graced with something truly special—a giant four-storey tall game of Tetris! Why? Because this month marks the 40th anniversary of the much-loved game that has helped us all procrastinate over the years. You might think that’s just a nostalgic trip down pixelated memory lane, but wait, there’s more! Get your back straights and your controllers ready, Londoners! It’s time to “shape up”!

What’s the Big Deal?

According to a recent article from ABS-CBN News, the giant installation is taking over the Outernet, a new media hub that’s about as trendy as avocado toast on a Sunday brunch menu. As if that wasn’t enough to persuade even the most suburban one of us to hop on the tube, imagine running through a giant, colourful maze, racing against each other to shove those blocks into place, celebrating every level-up as if you’ve just landed a personal best in the office bake-off!

Get Ready to Tetris

Just in case you’ve been living under a rock or perhaps under a particularly large Tetris block, Outernet London is all about immersive experiences, and this Tetris installation brings your childhood fantasies to life—complete with 80’s synth music blaring in the background. And the best part? Attempting to catch a glimpse of that coveted single Tetris block while maneuvering through what’s essentially the adult version of hide-and-seek!

Let’s Get Competitive

Now, you might be asking: how do we play this massive game? Lucky for you, Secret London has set the stage for big block moves in a competition where you team up with friends and strangers alike (because what’s a little social awkwardness when you have a giant puzzle to solve?). People will be jumping around like they’re in a dance-off, practicing the age-old strategy of ‘just place it here and hope for the best.’ If only real life was that straightforward, eh?

Tetris and the Future

As Londoners embrace this giant Tetris in all its blocky glory, let’s take a moment to reflect on the life lessons it imparts. It’s all about fitting in, making your moves strategically, and when in doubt, just go for it! Much like the indomitable spirit of London itself—never failing to redefine what it means to entertain and bring joy, even amidst the chaos. So come, jump, spin, and maybe even fall down in the name of the game (or trying to dodge the inevitable human avalanche!).

So, whether you’re a seasoned Tetris pro or some bewildered soul who thinks the blocks are just for decoration, there’s something for everyone—from nostalgia to exercise (and just a hint of public humiliation). Get out there and let the shapes lead the way!
