Your favorite childhood entertainment center is growing up alongside you, as Chuck E. Cheese announces a new, adult-focused concept, known as Chuck’s Arcade.
The arcade is intended for adults, especially those who grew up looking forward to the hours of spending tokens and cashing in tickets.
Featuring nostalgic animatronic characters and games, both classic and new, it will serve as a “modern-day love letter to the games and people who made Chuck E. Cheese great.”
Although it’s adult-focused, Chuck’s Arcade will welcome gamers of all ages. Visitors will get to try their skills at the hottest new games like Jurassic Park, Halo and Connect Four Hoop, while brushing up on Ms. Pac-Man®, Galaga®, Mortal Kombat®, Donkey Kong® and Centipede®.
Chuck E. Cheese CEO, David McKillips said:
Chuck E. Cheese has spent decades mastering the arcade experience — it’s in our DNA…Thanks to the expertise of our talented technicians and the successful transformation of almost 500 fun centers worldwide, we’ve built the operational and creative foundation to take our brand beyond our traditional four walls. Chuck’s Arcade™ is a natural evolution — an opportunity to extend our arcade legacy into new formats that engage both lifelong fans and a new generation through a curated mix of retro classics and cutting-edge experiences.
Chuck’s Arcade is now open at nine locations across seven states, with a tenth location in Brea, California coming soon. The current locations include: Buford, GA Tulsa, OK, St. Petersburg FL, Oklahoma City, OK, Victor, NY, El Paso, TX, Salem, NH, Kansas City, MO, Nashua, NH and a Brea, CA coming soon.
No two arcades are alike! Some locations offer exclusive retro-themed merchandise, collectible toys, novelty candy and prize redemption items and classic logo apparel.
Although we’ll always have a soft spot for a classic New York slice, if memory serves us right, we’re honestly still trying to uncover whatever secret ingredients Chuck E. Cheese puts in their pizza to make it so delicious. Lucky for Missourians, the Chuck’s Arcade location in Kansas City comes with its very own pizzeria!
New York’s Chuck’s Arcade is located a little over a five-hour drive from NYC at 7979 Pittsford-Victor Road (Route 96). You can learn more about the new concept online.
