Plug in & Play

Plug In & Play was a collaboration between the National Videogame Museum and Children’s Capital of Culture, taking place in 2024 and 2025.

Inspired by video games, Plug In & Play encourages children and families to play interactive, immersive and engaging games.

From tinkering with gadgets and reused scrap to sonic music-making, Plug In & Play featured a Mario Kart tournament in Rotherham Minster and story-telling workshops and film screenings. Rotherham schools created brand-new real-life video games which took over the town centre, whilst digital artists from across the UK came to showcase their unique technology.
