It wasn’t enough for Drexel’s Frank Lee to reprise his role as skyline gamer guru with a giant game of Tetris® played on two sides of the Cira Centre. He had to go and break his own Guinness World Record in the process.
Lee, an associate professor in the Westphal College of Media Arts & Design and founder of Drexel’s Entrepreneurial Game Studio, initially set the “largest architectural videogame display” record last year, when he turned one of Cira Centre’s 29-story LED arrays into a game of Pong as part of Philly Tech Week.
This time around, he used the LEDs on both the north and south sides of the edifice – essentially doubling the size of the display to an astounding 119,600 square feet – to create a massive Tetris game.
