Science Gallery, Friday 5th July - Saturday 6th July

Don’t miss your chance to experience the Virgin Media Playhouse in the Science Gallery, Dublin. Part playground, part science experiment, it’s custom-built to help you understand the state of mind that is “play”.

Play is more than just fun and different personality types experience play in a range of different ways. Our connected playhouse powered by Virgin Media broadband will help you reveal what play personality you are so that you can bring more play into your everyday.

Join us at the Playhouse where you can explore your play style with a variety of games!

Highlights include:

  • Retro Arcade: Step into the world of classic retro arcade games like Pac-Man and Mario, where nostalgia meets timeless fun. As competitors, you'll strategize, outmanoeuvre, and claim victory in every game. But beyond competition lies exploration, as each game offers new depths to uncover, and new strategies to master.
  • Trip of a Lifetime: Step into a world of 360-degree adventures where your journey is only limited by your imagination. As an explorer, you'll navigate through stunning natural wonders in fully immersive 3D, choosing your own path at every turn. Embark on this virtual voyage today and discover some of the Earth's most breath-taking places like never before.
  • Dance Off: The Retro Arcade Dance Machine merges kinaesthetic immersion with fierce competition. Players sync movement to the rhythm, engaging their physical senses to master challenges. In head-to-head battles, agility and precision are key as competitors vie for victory. It's a dynamic fusion of physicality and rivalry, making every session an electrifying dance-off.
  • Football Challenge: Experience the Football Simulator; a thrilling amalgamation of competition and physical immersion. Test out your football skills with the game's points challenge. Scores will be tracked on the live-in-game leaderboard where our biggest competitors are sure to keep coming back to secure their spot.

So not only will you leave in a better mood, but also with a better understanding of the play that best suits you.
