I had my husband?s surprise 30th birthday party here and it was great! I booked the Half Tilt party package and it was perfect for our group. I was able to split the 150 credits onto 15 cards and my guests filled with more credits as they wanted. All the staff were so nice and helpful and answered any questions I had leading up to, and on the day of the party. The amazing staff also let us keep our decorations up longer than our scheduled time because there were no other parties after us and our group was s
We had my granddaughters party there last week. The two young brothers working there were so pleasant and helpful. The blonde was such a sweet young man. The games are nice and clean. Nice little area to have a party and you can bring in food, drinks and cake. The two young men made our experience wonderful.
I would 100 % recommend going here for birthday parties. We were running late for a party of 10 kids and 7 adults and I called to notify them we would be late. Since there was no party booked behind us they allowed us to stay as long as we wanted! We were there for about 3 hours. The kids and adults loved it and had a great time! ?? I wish I had some picture to share but I don't since we were all so engaged with the games!
I booked a birthday party for our 10 yr old. Everyone had a great time. The staff was extremely helpful and very patient as some kids had sensory overloads . Very clean and no punks or foul language around. One of the best places for a kids birthday party so, book yours now as slots fill quickly. The owners are great people and give back to the community.
There is not enough 5 stars or positive words I can express when it comes to Full Tilt Arcade & Pinball ! First is the staff! And not just how each of them treated us and the guest but how they treated eachother. The general manager, Jason, was there from before today and all the way through. All of them were kind, helpful, playful and welcoming! The birthday area is perfectly located in the back so that I could watched the kids run around having the time of their life. Booking is so easy, check them out!!!
Me and my partner went for date night and what a blast!! They had his favourites, pinball, guitar hero, air hockey, and galaga! And my favourites (the easy ones??) like dirty drivin, pac man, Ice ball, lets bounce, and magic ball pusher!! Will be back for sure! Also pricing is great, we ran out of time before we could use the full amount on our card so again we will back to use that up!!!!
Visited on a Sunday morning for a child's birthday party. It was so fun! The kiddos got $20 reloadable cards and the party area was spacious for food, cupcakes, and presents. My youngest is 4 and a half and she was able to do many of the games and ended up with 300 tickets to spend (and got a ring pop and a mini rubik's cube). Highly recommend!
EDIT**** just to say we had another great experience today. This arcade seems much more reasonably priced than others we've been to. Thank you! My kids ages 4-12 had so much fun! There were a lot of different games. Everything is newer and nothing was "out of order" . Easy to load credits and check balances. Place os super clean. I realy hope people continue to support and patronize this business. Wonderful staff.
The Full Tilt birthday party was awesome for my 11 and 14 year old. Even the little kids and big kids(Adults) got into the fun. The arcade has games from pinball Machine to the VR games. It was so much fun and very affordable.we have tried other game places for birthday party's in the past and it doesn't compare to Full Tilt. The gentleman working there was so nice and helpful, if there was any problems he fixed it right away.he even helped us unload our car to set up and load it after the party.Everyone ha
My kids loved this place from the first time we took them there. Today was my son 6th birthday party. Him and his friends had so much fun. Even the adults were playing games. The manager there behind the counter was amazing and helped us out with all of our gaming cards. I would most definitely recommend this place to anyone.
This was a surprise party for my husband. The kids and grandkids had a great time. The staff couldn't have been more helpful and accommodating. They smoothed over the glitch of our reservation seamlessly. Everyone one had a great time. We will be back!
We had no idea this place existed and it's so close by!!! So much fun, the kid loves it here AND we also have the best time.... So many games! All of your favorites are likely here!
Great fun place for the whole family. Not very much there for really young kids, but still a great place to go visit. It's nice this town finally has something different to do and safe for kids to run around and play.
My son had his 7th Birthday Party here. The staff were all very helpful and accommodating! All the kids had a great time! I would highly recommend for Birthday parents ??????
Staff was very personnel and accommodating for all our needs! Excellent choice of games for the young and more senior! We had a blast for my twin granddaughter?s surprise birthday party!
What an awesome place! My son had the best birthday party. Staff was simply wonderful and so helpful and kind. Helped unload the car, clean up, and load up everything. Made set up for the party a breeze. Such a wonderful addition to Laporte. So many great games and fun prizes. Great for kids and adults of all ages. Loved playing the hamburger time game, brought back memories from my favorite pizza place. Overall, a great experience!
Went there with my wife and son a few days ago. Owners were friendly and welcoming. Place is clean and safe. All the games are in perfect working order. Every (game) button and switch work as opposed to other arcades. Game settings are all as I remember as a kid. They're not trying to take your money by having the games set on difficult. Definitely going back. Nice to know people and places like this still exist; and no, I have no affiliation to them. Just a new customer that went there after seeing an Ad.
lots of fun to be had here. a variety of games. pinball doesn't pay out tickets yet but they're working on plans for them to in the future, and there's like ten pinball machines here so if you're into that you'll love it here. there also skeeball and pachinko and hoops, claw machines, all kinds of goodies.
This place is great. I wish they had more pinball machines though. I think they had 20 which is a good collection. Also, they need snacks. Five out of five will be back
Extremely easy to book, set up, and execute for my kids birthday party. The planned time (about 2 hours) felt just right to play, break for pizza and cake, then continue on our way. I also noted from previous experience here and brought sharpie and lanyard for the party guest cards. No kids lost their game cards, everyone had a great time! Thank you Ben & Ryan for creating this place, and your wonderful staff helping us succeed.
Very nice place. All the pinball machines worked good. The young man working was nice said hello and commented on Loving Midievel Madness. I had to agree.
Ben and the staff were extrememly attentive and helpful during the duration of our party! They went out of their way to accomodate us and make sure we had everything we needed! Would totally recommend to anyone looking for an affordable and fun place to host a party! Thank you full tilt and staff!!
For only being open for 5 weeks a pretty decent assortment of pinball and limited space in the building for expansion but you never know. Overall place was great.
Oh my gosh!! What a blast we had! They have provided a great number of games that range from classic retro pinball to current. Can't wait to back and bring the niecephews.
The only issue is it so cool I wish it was bigger! Awsome atmosphere and they change out the games to keep things fresh.
We had our sons 12th birthday party here and it was wonderful! The party area was thoroughly cleaned for us and they could not have been more accommodating. So super friendly and helpful. They were truly concerned as to if our party was going well, and anything we needed, to just ask. They checked on us multiple times. Our kid (and my husband and I) are ready to go back and have some more fun. Our son said it was the best birthday yet!
All the staff were so great. They were all so positive, polite, helpful, and kind. My kids had a blast!
What a great place! Reminds me of when I was a kid. Awesome games, amazing atmosphere & super service! Bring the whole Fam!
This was the BEST birthday party we have ever had for our kiddo!!! Full Tilt was clean, the staff was SUPER courteous and helpful! THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH!!!!
We had a birthday party at Full Tilt and it couldn't have gone any better! Jason, the general manager, checked on us multiple times to make sure everyone was having a good time and to see if we needed anything. The party area is just separate enough to give you space but also still be included in the arcade setting. All of the kids had a blast!
I recently had the pleasure of attending a birthday party for my twin nephews at Full Tilt Arcade, and I could not have been more impressed with the staff. From the moment we walked in, they were welcoming and accommodating, making sure everything was set up for the private party. Throughout the day, they were always available to assist us with anything we needed, from refilling game cards to helping us with the prizes. Their friendly and helpful attitude truly made the experience even more enjoyable. The e
If you haven't visited full tilt you should definitely check them out! Hands down awesome staff that are very helpful and they are always in a great mood! It's a very fun and playful environment. We recently had our sons party there and it was an absolute blast! It was a great time. We highly recommend it!
This place is great! We just had our son's 6th birthday party here, and it was perfect. Everyone had such a great time and the hospitality was amazing. We'll definitely be back for future parties. Thank you for bringing such a great establishment to the area!
My kids attended several parties here so when it was my son's birthday he wanted his party here too. We booked a private/full tilt party. There was plenty of space for the kids to play. They have a nice area to set up for food and kids to sit and eat. The staff was very responsive to emails/questions. The staff during the party were so sweet and helpful. They made everything so easy. The kids had a blast. I told people to bring extra money, but I still didn't anticipate how much money/credits the kids would
Great place for kids to unwind some energy. Lots of varieties of skill games as well as pinball games.
Amazing place for kids birthday! We had so much fun! Will definitely do this again!
We hosted a birthday party for my 9 year old. This is a great place for kids! Nice little area to have food, cake and gifts. Kids can run safely while playing. The workers were so nice and attentive. I would highly recommend having a party here!
Had my sons birthday here staff was helpful and we had a great time
100% AWESOME! We booked a full tilt party and loved it. The kids and parents all had a blast. The variety of games is great and has something for everyone one. The area for food and cake was perfect. We will definitely be back as a family to play and for future parties. The staff was also fantastic! So friendly and helpful. They made a fun time even better with warmth and hospitality. You could tell they love being there and loved having us there!
We had my daughter?s bday party here today & it was a great experience. Lots of space in the birthday area, the staff was so friendly & accommodating, & all of our guests had so much fun playing all the games. It was very affordable to have the party there & give all of our guests game cards to use. We're already planning our next trip to go back soon! ??
The Full Tilt team was very accommodating while hosting our party. Everything ran smoothly, and the time allotted was perfect for pizza, cake, and presents. We easily fit 9 children and 11 adults into the party space. The kids had a blast at the arcade! Everyone had a great time.
I had my son's birthday party here and we all absolutely loved it. The owners were so helpful and considerate. Even helped me carry my party supplies in. The games were a lot of fun. The prices were so fair! We were there for 2 hours and my kids would have happily stayed longer.
The private party at the arcade was perfect! There was something for everyone of all ages from 2-70. We really enjoyed the staff helping us, showing us the ins and outs of the games, and joining in on the fun! We will definitely be returning and planning more parties!
Very cool place! It was super busy when we went but the workers were so prompt.. there was plenty of games for everyone (not too many toddler friendly things, but they did love the boat game).. I have a 3,6,9&12 year old they all had a blast.. even my husband and I had a great time.. bathroom was super clean!
Absolutely a great experience!! The staff was so accommodating and present yet respectful of the party. Helpful for setup and clean up of event. Even though it wasn't necessary it was nice to have their helpful hands and smiling faces willing to lend a hand with anything including carrying items into the facility. After having many more kids show up for our party then intended they were quick to help solve our game playing card distribution and still be attentive to customers. We will 100% be going back for
We spent a couple of hours at Full Tilt as part of a family trip. Our family had a terrific time -- the staff is incredibly nice, the price structure is fair, and the arcade has a nice collection of arcade games, from pinball classics to modern shooters. Would definitely do it again the next time we're in town.
Filthy dump of a place. Go to Valpo or South Bend if you don't want cockroaches and filth and a rip-off.
Large arcade with so many game machines, it would take hours to try them all. Great prizes and cards you can reuse while keeping your tickets to get larger prizes later. Highly recommend for a birthday party, rental even comes with cards to play games. Fun for all ages and all skill levels. Make sure to stop out for some family gaming fun. Great for a date night too.
Attended a Valentine event here. The atmosphere was awesome! There was a food truck outside, snacks inside, and live music. Not to mention, the gaming if also fun. Ben does an amazing job keeping this exciting!
1st time there and had a BLAST!!! made my inner child come out with my 6yr old son,I miss arcades!! Love this place!!
We were lucky enough to celebrate our sons birthday at full tilt yesterday. The staff was so friendly and accommodating. It was the easiest birthday party I've ever thrown. Everyone had a great time even the adults.
I had so much fun here! Wish there were more games, but I loved the ones they did have. I thought it was super cool that they had some older ones as well.
Went here for my sisters birthday party and it was so much fun. All the games are fun (especially the Star Wars one) and the two people working there were very nice and helpful. Please come here if you're in the area. I'm glad people are giving back to the community and giving everyone something fun to do. ??????????
This place is AWESOME!! We celebrated my granddaughter's 3rd birthday party here yesterday, The ONLY thing I am complaining about is the location of Guitar Hero, I had a VERY hard time hearing it as it sits right next to a loud punching bag game..Guitar Hero should be up louder or moved to a different spot. It's really just a suggestion, and not a complaint, because I LOVE guitar hero!
Great pinball selection! Around 25 modern Stern & Jersey Jack & other popular games, all in PERFECT condition! Several ticket games and afew co-op racing/shooting games. 4-6 credits for most pinball equals about $1/game depending on how many credits you buy. Honestly, just buy a $100 card with bonus credits and you'll have multiple days of entertainment at a great value! Highly recommend!
Full Tilt Arcade &Pinball started out really strong. It's not as cool as it used to be and sorta' fizzled about a year ago or so. I guess that's something that just happens to some businesses. I hope they perk up and hire some fun staff again. It would really get the place going.
We have had private birthday parties here the last 2 years and it's been an absolute dream. Having the arcade to ourselves for the kids to run free is amazing. All of the staff is very helpful and attentive. Would recommend over and over again!
Such an amazing place! Had a half tilt party here for my son?s birthday and it was so much fun! The staff was so helpful and friendly. Definitely check it out for some fun game time and for birthday parties.
This place is great, there is plenty for borh kids and adults to get involved in. We had a private party amd rented tbe whole thing. It was great not having to worry about the kids, give them a card and they do their own thing and it was just them. They let you bring in your own food and drinks. Would highly recommend it and would do it again.
We had my son's birthday party there and it was a blast. All the kids and adults had a great time. The staff was super friendly and helpful with everything. We absolutely love Full Tilt!!! We will be back for sure!!
Great up and coming arcade! Good collection of pinball machines and I met one of the owners and enjoyed talking pinball with him. I will be a regular customer that's for sure!
We booked a private party and had an excellent experience! The adults and kids alike all thoroughly enjoyed the games. Everything was very affordable and there is an abundance of variety in games. As a bonus, the prizes you can win with the tickets are fun for the kids! Thank you for a wonderful experience!
We booked my 9 year olds birthday party here. The package was very affordable and the owner is super friendly and helpful. I definitely recommend full tilt for birthdays.
The Full Tilt staff were extremely helpful and friendly. The party area was a great size for the amount of guests we had. We all had so much fun! We will definitely be back for our next birthday party!
We've been to Full Tilt many times and had our boys birthday parties there. Fantastic selection, great employees, and always a good time.
I absolutely love this place! Staff is amazing! Fun for all ages. My son requested it for his birthday, now everyone of my kids want to celebrate there! Thanks guys! Truley genuine, awesome place.
Last friday, I made the choice that we were having a birthday party for the boys. Ready set panic because I had a week to figure it out. Lol I started looking at the bowling alleys, places to go, etc. And then I remembered Full Tilt Arcade & Pinball in LaPorte. Talked about easiest party ever!! It was as simple as getting online and choosing the package and date/time. Honestly, the easiest, most amazing way to get it handled. We chose the half tilt - which is where you rent out the party section but the
We rented the party space for our Girl Scout Troop. We had a great time. Staff were attentive and helpful. Space was clean and had fun decor. Girls had tons of fun!
My friends and I rented the place out for our kids (and us) and it was awesome. We grabbed some pizza on the way and had a really good time. The kids could run around collecting tickets while the adults could play Street Fighter by themselves. The rental was $266, and it came with $300 in credit, so it was a no-brainer. I highly recommend you do the same. The kids (2-7 years old) were out of their with excitement and the adults had a great time too. We were able to book online, the place was clean and ready
We had my daughter's birthday party here and everyone was amazing! They made sure all of the tables were clean and ready to go. Asked/offered help multiple times. Very friendly and will keep coming back.
Great place to escape reality for a bit. Fun for the whole family.
We had our daughter's birthday party here....rented out the place. The kids all had a blast! Staff was super helpful and friendly! I would highly recommend having a party here!!
Had a blast today. Nice location and super clean on the inside. Games were reasonably priced as well. Come out and support this local business. Ben and the crew have made an amazing kid friendly environment that needs our support. Come check them out soon
I could spend hours playing pinball here, games are kept up great, and get fixed on the fly if possible when something does go wrong... It's clean, even with kids there.. And every so often, they do a 21+ night with Burn'em Brewing there! I did wish they had adult hours, like after 9 or something.. Maybe one day.
Great place - the kids had an awesome time!
I went there for a couple hours of fun and already want to go back. It was fun to play all the games and obviously I enjoyed the skee ball the most. Thank you for a fun time!
Heard about this place from a Facebook group and I'm glad we decided to check it out. The kids had a lot of fun?the staff was super accommodating and helpful even while the kids were playing, prices were reasonable and it was clean. We will definitely be back
I had a birthday party for my 6 year old at Full Tilt. Everything was awesome! They were so welcoming and helpful and they kept checking in to see if we needed anything. I would highly recommend them!
Great service, super fun. The staff makes u feel welcome and not stingy at all with tickets that makes it more fun for the kids
Really had a blast but the price to play arcade games anymore is ridiculous. They also had surprisingly a lot of machines that were outta order which sucked. But my kids had a fun time with the ones that's were working! And it's a decent place to do a party as well
Always a great time at Full Tilt! We've been steady customers since they have opened, and have enjoyed watching the steady stream of improvements and updates for customers of all ages. A true gem in the NWI region, right in our own backyard. Check out their party packages!
My kids and I love this place! Game variety is awesome. $50 lasts about 2 hours with 3 of us playing games. It's clean and the people who work here are friendly and knowledgeable. If I could give it 10 stars I would.
Very clean place to have a birthday party everyone who attended my son's party was very pleased and happy with the atmosphere. The Arcade itself is very well spread out and has a variety of games to choose from, it is a great addition to LaPorte.
Great place for all ages to get together! Wide varity of games make sure everyone has a good time. The staff and owners are beyond helpful and offer knowledge of machines when needed. Great place to stop by and have some fun or book a party to enjoy with family and friends.
We had our son?s 10th Birthday Party at Full Tilt and chose the Full Tilt package. We all had a blast! Great staff, owner was kind and welcoming. Great game selection! We will definitely be back!
We had a great time at our birthday party! Everyone was so helpful and very professional!! The machines were fun & having the party area worked perfectly! We will definitely be back!!
I give it 4 out of 5 stars only because of how incredibly small the place was. BUT this business is only just starting out. They are growing. The games were a lot of fun and the prices were super cheap. This was perfect for my 7 year old daughter but my 4 year old didn't have many games she could actually play. So all in all they are doing a great job for being a brand-new place for Laporte. It won't let me put another comment on here for some reason so miswell just add it on here. Given I said it was a sm
Perfect place to host a birthday party! Staff were super accommodating and pleasant!! Arcade has super unique games and arcade was very clean. Many more family memories to be made at Full Tilt Arcade!
It’s a mix of nostalgia and high-energy fun! Many arcades blend retro classics like Pac-Man and pinball with modern VR games, racing simulators, and rhythm challenges — often with music, lights, and a social vibe.
Both can be great! Solo visits let you focus on your favorite games, while going with friends adds competition, teamwork, and laughs. Many people plan arcade meetups as a casual hangout or even date spot.
Usually just yourself and a way to pay (some arcades still use coins, others use cards or apps). If you're competitive, bring your A-game. If you're social, bring friends or meet new ones over multiplayer games.
Weekdays or early afternoons are usually less crowded — perfect for focused play. Evenings and weekends bring the buzz, especially at barcades or venues with DJs, tournaments, or themed nights.
Absolutely! Arcades attract a mix of casual players and serious gamers. Whether you're jumping into a four-player co-op or chatting between rounds, it's a fun, low-pressure way to connect over shared interests.
Not at all. While many arcades are family-friendly, there are also adult-oriented ones with full bars, 18+ nights, or vintage nostalgia themes. Arcades today cater to everyone — from first-timers to lifelong gamers.
Yes! Many arcades host regular competitions, retro nights, cosplay parties, and more. Whether you're into high scores or just want to watch and vibe, events add an extra layer to the experience.
No worries — arcades are about having fun, not being perfect. Try a variety of games, ask others for tips, and remember: the vibe is more “let’s play” than “let’s win.”
Yes, pinball tables in arcades remain a blast. Their hands-on, skill-driven gameplay delivers a thrill digital games can’t match, blending nostalgia with modern flair. Newer tables from Stern and Jersey Jack feature LCD screens and themes like Avengers or Stranger Things, keeping things exciting. Arcades are seeing a pinball resurgence with vibrant scenes and tournaments like IFPA events drawing crowds. Though less common than video games, pinball’s tactile charm and community vibe make it a standout arcade experience in 2025.
Absolutely, retro games in arcades remain a thrilling draw in 2025! Classics like Pac-Man, Space Invaders, and Street Fighter II offer simple yet addictive gameplay, blending nostalgia with timeless challenge. Modern arcade cabinets often feature crisp displays and restored controls, enhancing the experience. These games thrive on quick reflexes and strategy, with vibrant pixel art and iconic soundtracks that spark joy. Arcades host tournaments and leaderboards, fostering a lively community. While modern games dominate, retro titles provide a unique, accessible thrill that keeps arcades buzzing.
Arcade prize games are a thrilling highlight in 2025! Claw machines, skee-ball, and ticket-redemption games like basketball offer a rush of skill and chance, with rewards like plushies, toys, or electronics up for grabs. Modern machines feature vibrant lights, digital scoreboards, and responsive controls, amplifying the fun. The lively arcade atmosphere, with cheering crowds and buzzing energy, makes every win feel epic.
