Rupert's Kids Arcade

Rupert's Kids Arcade A classic arcade with video games, pinball, & lots more. All profits go to the Rupert's Kids charity! Come in and play or book your party at rupertsarcade.com!

Rupert’s Kids Arcade is not your average arcade. You want to hang out for an hour and just have fun? We have you covered. With more than 25 great arcade machines, you can spend hours playing and never get bored. And with a simple admission charge of $5 per person for an hour or $10 per person for the day, you can play every video game or pinball machine you want and never drop another quarter. Jus

t keep hitting “Start” and play til your fingers are aching. We have something for everyone: dual racing games; classics like Pac-Man, Donkey Kong, and more; cool home console gaming, everything from the Sega Genesis to eight person Super Smash Bros; a prize distributing skill crane, and basketball! It’s all fun, and you and your family will have a blast. That we promise you. But there’s a bit more magic behind the glass at 109 S. Harrison. This arcade was started for a purpose - to help kids not only set high scores on a screen, but to help them achieve in the real world. Proceeds from the arcade’s earnings go to a charity called Rupert’s Kids - hence the name of our little establishment. But what is this charity all about? Sometimes in life, we make mistakes. Perhaps at no time is that more prevalent than during our youth. You do something wrong, you get in with the wrong crowd, and you wind up in jail. What’s next? You have no sense of self worth, you have never worked in your life, and you have the scarlet letter of the detention center on you. Getting a job? An apartment? As if. That’s where Rupert’s Kids comes in. We mentor these at-risk youths and get them on the right path. We teach them how to work, how to provide for themselves, and how to stay out of trouble for good. And we do it with the help of local communities such as Shelbyville, Indiana, who have opened their arms to help us to do so. So yes, the arcade is a lot of fun and it’s a great, safe place for children of all ages at an incredibly easy to get to location. Come in and see if you can set that world record on Track & Field…but know that while you are doing that, you are doing more than just hitting some buttons. You are helping others. And what could be more fun than that?

Thursday Trivia time! The fastest recorded speed of a hit air hockey puck is approximately 80 mph! Normally I say something about trying to achieve it in the arcade, but for the safety of equipment and people, please don't launch it next time you are in Rupert's Arcade!

its Thursday, so its time for another triva fact! Not a suprise, but we here at ruperts are a big fan of arcade cabnets. Through out the years, they have also been a cultrual mile stone. In 1978, Japan had a temporary shortage of 100-yen coins due to the pouplairty of Space Invaders! There was also a rumor that Pac-Man caused the same effect in the USA with quarters, but that has never been conformed. You can try out both at Rupert’s, with no quarters, or yen, needed!

Due to flood warnings, we will not be open this evening, August 12. Stay safe everyone!!

Wanted to thank the party we had this morning at the arcade. We host parties for all ages, and this was one of a group of I'd guess late 20's folks. Hope you had as much fun as we had hosting for you! :)

It's time for everyone's favorite weekly not weekly event: Thursday Trivia!
With Weird AL in concert tonight, did you know he has a pinball machine, call the Museum of Natural Hilarity.
it features 17 of his songs and 20000 automatically voice callouts, also some very unique mechanical toys: 5 flippers, a working hamster ball wheel, and special songs mode by routing through ticket booths. It may not be in the arcade, but you can still enjoy our collection of pinball machines when you visit Rupert's!
