You’ve never really played Pong until you’ve played it on the side of a skyscraper. Yep, a 29-story skyscraper in Philadelphia became the site of the world’s largest video game this week.

According to NPR, the 29-story video game was created to kick off Philly Tech week by Frank Lee, a professor at Drexel University.

The game lit up the side of the Cira Centre building in Philadelphia. It contained a 400-foot tall screen made up of a web of LED lights and mirrored glass.

The idea for this project began in 2008 when I was driving East on I76 in Philadelphia at night heading towards Center City … Like many nights before, I saw the sparkling lights of the beautiful Cira Centre building. However, this night as I was staring at those lights, in my mind’s eye I saw Tetris shapes outlined by those lights rotating and falling.
