99% Invisible and WBUR’s Endless Thread team up for Hidden Levels, a six-part series about how video games left the arcade and started reshaping the real world. These stories go beyond high scores and consoles, tracing how a joystick became the bridge between people and machines, how a Chicago basketball game turned into a cultural phenomenon, and how the Army built its own first-person shooter to reach new recruits.

Whether you are a lifelong gamer or have never picked up a controller, Hidden Levels uncovers how games have quietly changed culture, technology, and the way we see the world.
