The exhibition at the Zeppelin Museum Friedrichshafen, Germany, explores the phenomenon of games. It explores game spaces of identity, examines how games reflect power relations between propaganda, war and resistance as well as their contribution to shaping the future and the emergence of new communities.

Zeppelin games from the museum's own technology collection from the early 20th century to the present are contrasted with works by contemporary artists and gaming classics from game boards to consoles and critically categorized. In the style of role-playing games, visitors decide on one of five characters – explorer, scientist, journalist, hacker or child – which influences their tour through the exhibition. In addition to the individual solo adventure, the exhibition focuses on discourse, immersion and, of course, gaming itself.

The Zeppelin Museum Friedrichshafen offers a multimedia experience of innovations in technology and art, and invites visitors to engage in an interactive dialog. Interdisciplinary, discursive, participatory and inclusive, it is dedicated to historical, current and future social developments and debates.
