We need your help completing all the side quests (including finding all the hidden Easter egg coins) at the brand new video games edition of After Dark! You're invited to level up with us at this unique grown-ups-only event, after hours at Science World.

Here are Your Objectives:

1. Demo the Future & Revisit the Retro

Get early access to creative new games by Vancouver Film School Students, including the award-winning Meowmentum.

You've played 'em at home and at the arcade... but we bet you've never experienced 4-player Pac Man or Dance Dance Revolution arcade games under the dome!

2. Name That Video Game Tune

Think you know your Super Mario music from Final Fantasy themes? We challenge you to... name! that! video game tune!

3. Get Insider Intel

Gain science XP hearing from industry insiders at Original Fire Games. Discover how design, art, and code work together to create the excitement—and chaos!—you feel when playing games. For more info, please see the speaker profiles below.

4. Create EZ Doodles

Try your hand at Doodle Diffusion, a new interactive way to generate graphics by finger painting a rough sketch. Decide for yourself how far we've come in AI-generated imagery… or how far there's still to go.

5. Speed-Run the Exhibits

We challenge you to scale the rock-climbing wall as fast as you can at Extreme Sports: Beyond Human Limits, presented by White Spot Restaurants. And level up your culture stats by taking in breathtaking National Geographic photography at Spectacle, presented by OmniVita.

Bonus Quest: Unlock Inhibitions

Let loose with a cold one, vino, or non-alcoholic beverages… just don’t get rekt.

Not a Gamer?

You'll still love it! Visit all the exhibitions the dome has to offer, including Extreme Sports: Beyond Human Limits and National Geographic's Spectacle art exhibition with your ticket. Grab some dinner at Triple O's, enjoy a beverage and dive into the science in a fun, relaxing, kid-free evening.
