Tetris Trivia:
Prolonged Tetris activity can also lead to more efficient brain activity during play. When first playing Tetris, brain function and activity increases, along with greater cerebral energy consumption, measured by glucose metabolic rate. As Tetris players become more proficient, their brains show a reduced consumption of glucose, indicating more efficient brain activity for this task.
Tetris has made its way into the media on several occasions. It was referenced prominently in the video-game oriented cartoon Captain N: The Game Master. It was also referenced in Muppet Babies episode "It's Just a Pretendo", The Simpsons episode "Strong Arms of the Ma", Family Guy episode "Prick Up Your Ears", and Futurama episode "Fear of a Bot Planet". Commercials also occasionally parody the game. Police Academy: Mission to Moscow alluded to Tetris by depicting the Russians trying to hypnotize Americans through a puzzle video game referred to as "The Game" in the movie.
Several video games outside the falling blocks genre, including Zoda's Revenge: StarTropics II, Asterix & Obelix XXL, God of War, Final Fantasy X, and Kya: Dark Lineage, have used puzzles involving tetrominoes, thought to have been inspired by Tetris.
The artist Sam Francis dedicated thirteen paintings to the Tetris game.
