I ordered the gaming truck, and had actually had been to a previous party with this gaming truck. Even spoke to the owner on the phone, in which he described the truck in the first two photos.

I attended my grandson 12th birthday party featuring Platimum Plus Mobile Gaming. I am a professional meeting planner that has planned conferences and meeting for more than 20+ years. The meticulous level of their equipment is the best I have ever seen. As important as the meticulous level of the equipment, the customer service they provided to my grandson and his guest is second to none. The staff was always available to assist the kids. No challenge was to difficult for them to handle. I am proud

Platinum plus mobile gaming did our birthday party and it was amazing. They had great customer service and made booking my event as easy as it can be. They are affordable and have high quality service. I would definitely book with them again.

We hired this company for my son's 6th grade graduation (picnic) and everyone was pleasantly pleased. From the students to the parents to the teachers and even the teachers. Not expensive and very friendly staff. I over heard one of the kids saying that he HAS to pass on their business cards for a 4th of July event that's taking place. I'm so glad that they are a local family business that's willing to travel. I'll most definitely use them again in the near future.

I absolutely love Platinum Plus Mobile Gaming. The kids had the greatest time playing games and we all were completely comfortable with the warm, personable, professional and capable staff. This definitely got us cool points with our kids and the neighborhood kids as well!

So my daughter wanted a Fortnite party. We've used mobile gaming services before, but she found Platinum on Google. I'm very skeptical of reviews and doing business without a direct referral. So I took a chance, called them, booked it and sent a deposit. WOW I lucked out. The staff is super professional. Their truck is tricked out with some awesome tech. We had 16 kids playing non-stop for hours. The owners are also super nice and really care about children in a way that shows this is more than just a goo

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s it like visiting an arcade today?

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.

Is it better to go alone or with friends?

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.

What should I bring to an arcade?

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.

What’s the best time to visit an arcade?

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.

Can I meet new people at arcades?

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.

Are arcades still just for kids?

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.

Are there events or tournaments I can join?

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.

What if I’m not great at arcade games?

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.”

Are retro games in arcades still good in this modern age?

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.

Why are arcade prize games so exciting to play?

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.
