We've now been open for over three years, and look to have at least another three years here (despite what you might have heard about imminent closure!). We have loved becoming part of the arcade community, and want to recommend some other nearby arcades we think you should visit. 

Timewarp Arcade

Excellent freeplay arcade nearby in Bridgewater that has been around over 10 years. Best selection of light gun games in the south west! 

Boneyard Arcade

A recently reopened great value token-based arcade in Exeter with great game selection: Quick and Crash, Wacca, Bubble Bobble, SF3: Third Strike, Scared Stiff, and many more. 

FreePlayCity

Huge collection of modern Japanese rhythm games with selection of modern racing games and light gun games all on freeplay. A bit further away in London. Their staff were extremely helpful in setting up some of our new games!
