We will have a variety of games including classics like Card Against Humanity and Mario Kart plus whatever new arcade and board games y’all bring ;-)

🎮 CO-OP Arcade: Giant Controller Kaiju Battle

The city is under attack… and only teamwork can save it.

Welcome to CO-OP Arcade, a cooperative arcade experience where team work, strategy, and pizza-as-fuel will lead to success against the game.

This is a players-vs-environment showdown where guests take on classic arcade games… with a kaiju-sized twist:
👉 The controls are massive, so you’ll need to find a partner to play. One pilot handles movement, the other handles actions. Think: two humans, one machine, vs. one giant arcade monster.

🕹️ What to Expect

A welcoming, social atmosphere where you’ll meet your fellow “defenders of the city”
Unlimited Arcade and Pinball games!
Team-based gameplay on classic arcade titles
Pizza!
Because we’re using classic arcade games, the experience is accessible, nostalgic, and chaotic in the best way—perfect for all skill levels.

🏆 How It Works

Teams will fight through multiple rounds to earn points for humanity
After each round, points are added to a shared city defense total
Your fate is tied to the group—win together!
🎁 Rewards for Saving the City

If the group hits certain point milestones, everyone gets rewarded for their bravery 🎉

Most groups will secure basic rewards—but reaching the highest tier will require true heroic coordination.

🍕 Fuel for the Fight

Your ticket includes pizza from Tony Boloney's, because saving the city burns calories.

Expect a cozy, slightly chaotic hangout vibe—equal parts arcade, team-building, and low-budget monster movie energy.
