Just a reminder we’ve switched over to tokens, so quarters won’t work in our games any more. Nothing changes minus the type of coin that’ll work on the games. Same as quarters the change machine will dispense 4 tokens for $1. We know a lot of kids liked to save quarters for the weekend, so please let them know we’re sorry! It’s something we had to do for the sanity of our employees and the game tech. Trust me trying to find quarters when there are none, while running an arcade is not a good time. This will fix that!
Other than that, nothing changes, and shoot us a message if you’d like to reserve a spot for a birthday party!

Just a friendly reminder we’ve switched over to tokens (quarters won’t work on the games now). Nothing changes, $1 still gets you 4 tokens, which all games will now use. Still working on the pool table and sticker machine, but the rest are good to go! A few of the games will still take $1 bills as well.
Why did we do this?
I know some folks are disappointed due to saving quarters for their gaming needs, but for our sanity it was very, very necessary. Ever since Covid getting quarters to fill our change machine has been nothing short of a challenge. It could take weeks to scrounge up enough quarters and would require one of us to constantly be on call to sometimes empty games at all hours if the quarters were low, and we couldn’t replenish our backup. Tokens will make sure our change machine is stocked at all times and none of us will have to scramble out of bed on a busy night because all the change is gone. Like I said it really doesn’t change any thing minus using a different coin for the games. And NO you can’t buy drinks with tokens to the person who asked the other night. Nice try though!
We plan on doing limited edition tokens down the road as well, where we’ll only mint a few for ones collecting purposes. Rumor has it there might even be a PiePan coin at some point…
Thanks for being patient as we switch over!
Does the token machine take 25¢? Only used paper money on it…
Andrew Meadors there is quarter insert on the change machine, but it doesn’t work at the moment. We’ve got it taped off until we figure out how to fix it
