A photo by Erik Nygren capturing the Tetris On A Building Hack at Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

Tetris played using building windows is actually nothing new. Having it done illegally by hackers? THAT’S NEW.

Students at the prestigious “Massachusetts Institute of Technology” performed what is being billed as the “Holy Grail of Hacks” when they force-played Tetris on the side of a building by hacking into the “Department of Earth, Atmospheric, and Planetary Science” on the college campus and proceeded to play a MASSIVE game of Tetris!

Quite the feat eh! You can see a video of the actual “Tetris On Side of Building” game being played below!

Obviously this was done by some extremely bright MIT students in Cambridge, Massachusetts, as you must have insane skills to pull something like this off. And they got extreme critical acclaim, with the MIT Gallery of Hacks group calling it the “holy grail of hacks” as previously stated.

The hackers had a videogame console on the ground in order to actually play the Tetris game on the multi-colored, lit-up windows of the building, which allowed them to move and rotate the Tetrimino pieces using the controller and drop them into the well represented at the bottom of the building!

Here is the Tetris Massachusetts Hack Video!
