Ted did an awesome job with getting a private party set up for my friends and myself. He explained everything and was right there to help people, especially with the VR. Everyone in my group had a ton of fun. It's about time Custer has an arcade and there's no disappointment! I was allowed to have food for everyone delivered at the arcade and was able to go right next door to South Dakota Outdoor Shop to get local brew which was awesome as well! Ted answered all my questions for getting a private party goin
Haven't been but I know Ted and he is great! He will make sure you have a good time and he runs a clean shop! Will definitely be visiting Game On! Arcade when I'm in town!
We rented the GAME truck for my daughter's graduation party, and it was absolutely amazing! The experience was a 100% success, with everyone having a fantastic time and building some wonderful memories. The truck was well-equipped, the games were a hit, and the staff was professional and friendly. We couldn't have asked for a better addition to our celebration. I wholeheartedly recommend the GAME truck for any event. It truly made our party unforgettable!
You guys have got to go! It's great to have gaming that is family friendly and Ted is bringing it back!
Great for our teenager?s birthday party! Great communication from Ted, on time, and professional.
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.”
