In the Vapriikki museum centre in Tampere, these exhibitions cover Finnish games and players over three centuries. Around 100 digital, board, role-playing and traditional games, from Fortuna (1926) and the board game Afrikan tÀhti (1951) to Hugo, Max Payne, Angry Birds and My Summer Car, are on show, most of them playable. The collection opened in January 2017, created by the city, Rupriikki Media Museum, Pelikonepeijoonit and the University of Tampere.
The arcade has pinball and 1970s electro-mechanical games, and themed rooms recreate the eras of Pong, Commodore 64, NES and Amiga from 1980 on. Concerts, lectures, gaming marathons and game jams are held here too. Vapriikki has a restaurant.
