To coincide with the new special exhibition Game Masters, The Franklin Institute has launched "The Adventures of Benjamin Franklin," a custom-developed retro 8-bit-style game in which Ben Franklin races to collect lightning, climb Independence Hall, and more. The game was designed by the in-house digital team at The Franklin Institute GameMaker Studio 2. The main character of the game is 8-Bit Ben, a pixelated Benjamin Franklin who navigates various worlds, collecting keys and lightning while avoiding pitfalls like rats and spikes.
Game Masters: The Exhibition completed its run at The Franklin Institute. Discounts to the exhibition earned through the game are no longer applicable.
