Customer Reviews

Such a fun group activity in the heart of New Orleans! ZLNO is the perfect air conditioned activity for afternoons or evenings, and their party room seems ideal for celebrations or meetings. We'll be back! ??

This was such a fun experience! We surprised my brother in law with this event. We had the best time. I highly recommend getting some friends together and going.

Had so much fun at the opening. Genuinely a mind blowing experience. Will be going back (often)

If you're thinking about going, GO! We played Undead Arena and had such great time! It felt like we were actually inside of the game. Can't wait to play again! 10s all across the boards!

Could not recommend this place enough! Planned a surprise day for my husband here and some friends and family. We have never gone to a place like this for gaming. Was worried it was gonna be a little cheesy but Zero Latency far exceeded the whole groups expectations! The guy working did phenomenal! I choose zero latency because of the reviews, they were new, and they put effort and detail into the space inside! Not only was the game play great but the worker took photos of use during the game and air droppe

Go to this place! David is the man, had an incredible experience doing Space Marine with my girlfriend. You even get a video of yourself running around in VR. 10/10

Four of us got tickets on opening day. We chose the Space Marine game. The host took us back and explained how everything works. We watched a short video and then put on our game gun and VR headset. He then guided us into the game room. We all wore shorts and T-shirts. It was cold when we went in but that was perfect because we worked up a bit of a sweat during the game. I'm near sighted. My partner is far-sighted. Still, we did just fine. The headsets have a focus adjuster. Also, I get motion sickness e

10/10 experience. Highly recommend!! More people=more fun

Had an amazing experience. Definitely going back.

This was so much fun!!!

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.”
