Those prepared to play “Tetris” on the Cira Centre on Friday will have to wait another day.
The event, a kickoff to Philly Tech Week that was originally scheduled for Friday, has been postponed due to impending inclement weather.
It will now be held on Saturday at 7 p.m. at Eakins Oval on the Benjamin Franklin Parkway.
The classic arcade game will be played on both sides of the 29-story University City skyscraper facade.
“Pong,” which was the first classic video game conformed to the unique LED-lighted surface of the dark-colored structure, set a Guinness World Record for the “Largest Architectural Video Game Display.”
This year’s game would double the square-footage and, theoretically, set a new world record.
