CO-OP Arcade: Games, Pizza, Speed Friending
CO-OP Arcade: Games, Pizza, Speed Friending
🎮 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.

Nemesis: Retaliation
Nemesis: Retaliation
We will be playing two games of **Nemesis:** **Retaliation** with up to 4 players per game. All experience levels welcome. Expect the game teach to start promptly within the first 10 minutes. In **Nemesis: Retaliation** players take on the roles of highly trained marines, entering the alien nest with strict orders and the most advanced tools available. But will they be well-prepared enough to face the unrelenting horde that awaits them? Players must survive against overwhelming odds and the possibility of betrayal at every step. This is a semi-cooperative game in which you and your crewmates must survive on a ship infested with hostile organisms. To win the game, you have to complete one of the two objectives dealt to you at the start of the game and survive. You will find many obstacles on your way: swarms of Intruders, the poor physical condition of the ship, agendas held by your fellow players, and sometimes just cruel fate.

While numerous teams prepare to enter the conversion facility, First Seeker Sarmak has tasked one special team with breaching the conversion facility’s central control room and dispatching the cure to conversion through the ventilation system. If successful, all the converted innocents within the Wreck will regain their autonomy and break free from the Wreck’s control. Unfortunately, the central control is sure to be heavily guarded… Prepare for battle, Starfinders! A Starfinder Society Scenario designed for 3rd through 4th-level characters, playable in 2-3 hours. This is an adventure in the ongoing Invasion's Edge metaplot. Written by Matt Morris.
