Visitors literally become part of the experience by becoming the ‘game piece’ of a foosball table to explore the importance of individual expression. A unique bowling experience gives visitors the chance to move together down the alley to achieve different outcomes, which demonstrates the power of group support. Other game experiences include an oversized dominos set that teaches teamwork and a giant die that communicates common ideals in many languages.
