The Red Bull Tetris World Final to be Hosted at the Dubai Frame on This Date

The eagerly anticipated Red Bull Tetris World Final is scheduled for Saturday, December 13, 2025, at the iconic Dubai Frame in Zabeel Park — a landmark known worldwide as the planet’s largest “picture-frame” structure.

A Global Tournament Comes Home to the Sky

The event marks the culmination of a worldwide competition that has drawn elite players from 60 countries. Throughout 2025, participants climbed through online qualifiers, PC-based national finals, and seeding rounds — all vying for a place in the Grand Finale in Dubai. 

What makes this final truly spectacular is a world-first innovation: a live, playable Tetris game projected into the sky — not on a screen, but created by over 4,000 synchronized drones above the Dubai Frame. 

More Than a Tournament — A Celebration of Culture, Music & Gaming History

The night will be more than just high-stakes competition. Spectators will be treated to:

  • The championship final of the global tournament. 

  • A breathtaking drone show transforming the night sky into a live Tetris board with falling blocks and skyline visuals. 

  • Live musical performances — including by the Firdaus Orchestra.

  • Appearances by gaming icons — including the original creator Alexey Pajitnov and the visionary who brought Tetris global, Henk Rogers.

For media and VIP guests, this offers a rare opportunity to interview the duo behind one of the world’s most beloved games — celebrating decades of cultural impact. 

Dubai Frame: The Perfect Canvas for an Epic Finale

The Dubai Frame soars 150 metres into the air and spans roughly 95 metres wide — offering a dramatic, symbolic stage where modern Dubai meets tradition. 

For this event, the Frame and surrounding Zabeel Park will transform into an open-air arena. The drone display will render falling Tetris blocks overhead while spectators on the ground follow the intense action — with commentary, large screens, and live music completing the immersive atmosphere.
