Earlier this December, Red Bull turned the Dubai Frame into one giant game of Tetris. And we don’t mean inside the venue… we mean literally within the four towering sides of the frame itself.
Over 2,000 drones took to the skies within the Dubai Frame, lighting up in perfect sync as two top players showed off their stacking skills.
And yes, in true Dubai style, it was one of the biggest displays of a game of Tetris ever.
