Berlin\u2019s diverse culture allows for anyone to find their place, and that doesn\u2019t exclude us gamers!

Whether you live here or just traveling through, we\u2019ve compiled a few suggestions for you if you\u2019re on the hunt for some gaming-related fun!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Have you ever wondered how today\u2019s gaming industry came to be? Conveniently located just a short walk from Altagram\u2019s headquarters, the Spielemuseum is home to decades of gaming history. Younger visitors will be able to experience older games and consoles, while older visitors can have a walk down memory lane. A true historical journey, dedicated to gamers<\/strong>. From the Atari to arcade games and the Wii, visitors can play on different consoles and get a first-hand impression of the games industry\u2019s evolution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With its own arcade, the Spielemuseum is home to various vintage arcade classics such as Frogger, Pacman, Donkey Kong, and Centipede. One can even play Pacman using a giant joystick, which requires full body movement and offers a unique experience that you won\u2019t find anywhere else. If feeling more adventurous, one could even try the PainStation. Only daring gamers over 18 are allowed to try, at their own risk of course! Visitors are even able to take a trip back in time and see how a typical gamer\u2019s room would look like, from the Atari to the \u201870s wallpaper and d\u00e9cor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Berlin\u2019s very first game library, which is also home to a caf\u00e9 and a store, you can play board games in the caf\u00e9 for a small fee or even rent them out to have your own game night at home. Old and rare games have found a home on their shelves and are waiting for you to come and dust them off. If you can\u2019t find what you\u2019re looking for, they\u2019ll even take the liberty to order it for you! Check their website often, as they regularly hold game events. For example, every Monday, local game designers meet at 7pm to test their new prototypes. This could be your opportunity to check out a new game before it hits shelves<\/strong>, and even take part in the development of a game by providing direct feedback to the creator, all right here in Berlin!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Lasergame, Berlin\u2019s VR pioneers, you can strap on a pair of VR goggles and be taken to a world full of zombies, or gather up a group of friends and enter into your own real-life shooting game. With tons of space for you to hide, change sides, and scope out the landscape, this activity is anything but boring. Excellent graphics paired with precise body movement tracking make this an unmissable VR experience<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take the skills you\u2019ve built playing games on consoles, browsers, and your mobile phones and apply them to real life! In an escape game, you will be locked into a room \u2013 and the countdown is on. You and your team (however small it may be) will have to strategize and follow clues in order to escape<\/strong> before your time runs out. Who knows what could happen if you don\u2019t make it\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Berlin is known for its expressive murals and graffiti. A quick glance is enough to notice the colorful art lining so many of this city\u2019s streets. We can even find some fun gaming-related art while strolling along! From Mario to World of Warcraft art pieces, Berlin has it all<\/strong>. The only problem here is that some of these pieces don\u2019t last long, as the walls tend to be an ever evolving art canvas\u2026 So, if you see some cool gaming art, be sure to snap a photo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
