In Tel Aviv, Tetris Is So Huge the Screen’s the Side of a Building
Tel Aviv has turned one of its City Hall into a giant game of Tetris, complete with two oversized joysticks set up in Rabin Square.
The city asked all residents to come over and play, manipulating blocks of light across the facade of the building, which served as a 32,000 square foot “screen” made up of 480 LED lights.
The city created the giant games — Snake and Pong are also available — to mark the DLD Tel Aviv Innovation Festival, which brings together business and tech leaders from all over the world, at the end of September.
The games will appear on the municipality building every Thursday night.

I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward’s award-winning journalism this Passover.
In this age of misinformation, our work is needed like never before. We report on the news that matters most to American Jews, driven by truth, not ideology.
At a time when newsrooms are closing or cutting back, the Forward has removed its paywall. That means for the first time in our 126-year history, Forward journalism is free to everyone, everywhere. With an ongoing war, rising antisemitism, and a flood of disinformation that may affect the upcoming election, we believe that free and open access to Jewish journalism is imperative.
Readers like you make it all possible. Right now, we’re in the middle of our Passover Pledge Drive and we still need 300 people to step up and make a gift to sustain our trustworthy, independent journalism.
Make a gift of any size and become a Forward member today. You’ll support our mission to tell the American Jewish story fully and fairly.
— Rachel Fishman Feddersen, Publisher and CEO
