The Exploration Place is bringing the evolution of video games to life with a highly interactive exhibition.
Game Changers was developed and produced by the Canada Science and Technology Museum and toured by Science North, and will take visitors on a hands-on journey from early arcade games like Pong to today’s immersive, photorealistic digital worlds.
Spanning approximately 3,000 square feet, the exhibition features more than 120 influential games and 16 playable experiences, including iconic titles such as Pac-Man, Super Mario Bros., Guitar Hero, Tetris, and Angry Birds.
The exhibit will examine the science and technology behind gameplay, graphics, sound, and storytelling, offering insight into how video games have transformed the way people interact with computers and digital media.
“We’re excited to bring Game Changers to Prince George,” said Alyssa Gerwing, Curator at The Exploration Place.
“This is an exhibition that bridges generations through a common interest. Adults can revisit the games they grew up playing and share those memories with their kids, while also discovering what today’s gamers are playing. It’s a hands-on experience where visitors of all ages can have a lot of fun and learn at the same time.”
It will open on January 26th and run until April 15th.
