Frequently asked questions
Planning Your Outing
What kind of games do you deliver?
The operator rotates a selection of classic and modern arcade games; you can state preferences when booking and they’ll try to match availability. Website photos give an idea of the selection.
Are these the original arcade machines?
No—machines are modern replicas that are lighter and more compact for safe delivery; many cabinets include dozens of retro titles in one unit.
Can I set up the game outside?
No—machines must be placed indoors or in a fully enclosed, weather-protected area such as a garage due to weather and electrical safety.
Do I need to be home during delivery and pickup?
Yes—an adult (18+) must be present for both delivery and pickup to sign for the equipment and assist with placement.
Is there a deposit?
Yes, a $100 security deposit is collected per rental and is fully refundable after pickup, usually returned within 3–5 business days assuming no damage or misuse.
Can I keep the game for more than one day?
Yes—you can add extra rental days for $50 each if the schedule allows; select the extra day option when booking.
How far in advance should I book?
Book at least 1–2 weeks ahead when possible—weekends and school breaks fill up quickly.
What happens if the game stops working during my rental?
Contact the operator by call or text right away; they may troubleshoot remotely or offer a partial refund if the issue can’t be resolved.
