History

The idea for the museum was started by Tomislav Pamuković and Roko Živković after contemplating on "how to escape the corporate environment" and "making something my own". According to them, it was inspired by the National Geographic television show Brain Games. The first museum opened in 2015 in Zagreb, Croatia, with "two years passing between idea and realization". The franchising started in 2016 with museums opening in Zadar, Croatia and Ljubljana, Slovenia. The franchise later expanded into multiple countries, with the largest museum opening in September 2023 in Las Vegas, United States.
