Level up your imagination in our brand-new gallery exploring the world of gaming and storytelling!
The Story Arcade opens on 19 July 2025
Embark on a pixelated adventure through the world of gaming and storytelling.
See the world through the eyes of a cat, battle Arctic demons as an Iñupiaq girl, or navigate a post-apocalyptic flooded city with a crew in tow!
From early plot-driven classics to the vast, open-world adventures of today’s gaming legends, The Story Arcade explores the impact of video games on how we tell stories, charting landmark moments in gaming history and showing how evolving storytelling techniques let players experience new emotional, social, cultural, and historical perspectives.
With custom-built arcade machines, dressing up, a Side-Quest trail, board games, and pixel-themed crafts and activities — there’s plenty on offer for everyone.
The gallery also features games created by young designers from The Story Museum’s Digital Dreamers programme, in partnership with Greyfriars Catholic School and Yellow Submarine. Working with industry professionals and in partnership with Mind Jam, these budding game-makers selected stories from the Museum’s collection and reimagined them as video games.
Showcasing one of today’s most popular storytelling forms in a positive, family-friendly way, The Story Arcade invites children and parents to play, learn, and imagine together. It celebrates a powerful creative force that continues to reshape how we share and experience stories in the digital age.
