Red Bull recently turned the Dubai skies into the scene of an exciting and thrilling game of Tetris.
Some ideas soon seem completely impossible, until Red Bull decides to make them a reality (and does so with stunning success). In Dubai, an energy drink brand recently turned the skies of the Emirati city into the scene of a colossal and addictive game of Tetris. More than 2,800 synchronized drones made possible the miracle organized by Red Bull.
And what could have been just a visual spectacle turned into a fierce competition. Within minutes, the audience, gathered in the area of the iconic “Dubai Frame” of the Middle Eastern metropolis, witnessed a historic final between two Tetris players whose game was projected into the sky more than 150 meters above the ground. Red Bull has made possible a unique show in a world where the boundaries that normally separate games, entertainment and live performances have been broken down.

Red Bull left no detail to chance in such an unusual game of Tetris. Thousands of drones were specially programmed to act as pixels above the sky (conveniently transformed for the occasion into a giant screen). A traditional Tetris countdown was also visible there. Each of the players who participated in this unique game had five minutes to place pieces on the playing field and get the maximum score under the watchful eye of a large audience that did not miss a single move.
The tension was more than palpable among the public during the development of the game. After all, against the backdrop of the Dubai sky, Fragments of Tetris came to life and contributed to the metamorphosis of an unusually minimalist video game into a sensational aerial spectacle.
