Picture This introduces fresh new videogames that employ camera and photography gameplay mechanics.
Ideal for all ages and perfect for non-gamers alike, visitors can capture Pikachu and friends in their natural habitats in Pokemon Snap, build a photo album featuring the animal kingdom while exploring beautiful environments in Alba: A Wildlife Adventure or visit Scandinavian inspired towns and cities in Toem: A Photo Adventure, a stunning indie game that utilises a black and white hand drawn artstyle.
This half term includes activities that will put you behind the lens with a Game Boy camera, an accessory that at the time of its release (1999) held a Guinness World Record for the world’s smallest digital camera.
Visitors will also have the opportunity to craft videogame themed props to accompany them for a photo shoot, with a photo booth available all week. After snapping a picture, you can take home a free print to show your families and friends.
