Gameorama Spielmuseum

About

Gameorama is Lucerne’s playful tribute to the world of games, a lively museum where nostalgia meets modern gaming culture. Opened in 2020, it stands out for its fully interactive concept: every exhibit can be touched, tried, and played. Instead of traditional showcases, visitors move through themed rooms filled with pinball machines, arcade classics, board‑game curiosities, and early digital consoles that chart the evolution of entertainment from mechanical ingenuity to virtual worlds. One highlight is the pinball collection, featuring machines from the 1960s to today, each with its own soundscape and artwork. The retro arcade zone brings back icons like Pac‑Man, Donkey Kong, and Space Invaders, while the console timeline lets visitors experience milestones from Atari to PlayStation. Gameorama also celebrates Swiss game culture, showcasing locally designed board games and prototypes that reveal how ideas become playable creations. Workshops and special events add depth, offering insights into game design, storytelling, and the physics behind pinball mechanics. With its mix of fun, history, and hands‑on discovery, Gameorama is one of Lucerne’s most engaging modern attractions.
