Arcade tips for Abidjan

A few things worth knowing before you work through Abidjan's arcades:

• Save your high-score photo at Salle de jeux. Take the photo. High scores are ephemeral and the bragging rights are forever.
• Ask staff for recommendations at Espace Jeux. Staff know which machines are new, which are broken, and which have the loosest tilt sensors. Ask.
• Go off-peak. Weekday afternoons mean no queues on the good machines and your pick of the racing seats. Friday night is the opposite.
• Bring friends for versus games. Fighting games, racers, shooters — all built for two. Solo arcading is fine; versus arcading is the point.

Good to know

We searched about 40 km around Abidjan — that covers the town itself plus the surrounding communities you'd reasonably drive to. Listings come from OpenStreetMap, mapped by local volunteers, so a brand-new arcade in Abidjan can take a while to appear. The 6 above are only as current as the community map. A arcade that's shut, or a new one nobody's added yet, gets fixed with a single OpenStreetMap edit.

We don't list machine lineups — they change too often. What we list is the where: real venues, verified by real mappers.

If you run one of the 6 listed here and something's wrong — a closure, a move, new hours — the fix is the same: update the shop on OpenStreetMap and the correction flows through to this page on the next daily refresh.
