Arcade tips for Bengaluru

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

• Ticket games are a tax at Amoeba. The prizes cost more in tickets than cash. Play them for fun, not for the giant plush — that's the most expensive plush alive.
• Ask about free-play nights at Funtura. Some venues run flat-fee evenings where everything's unlimited. The best value in arcading, when you find it.
• The classics are cheapest. Pac-Man, Galaga, the old cabinets — usually the lowest price per play and still the most fun per minute.
• Ask about tournaments. Fighting game and pinball tournaments run weekly in many towns. Beginners are usually welcome and it's the fastest way to improve.

Good to know

We searched about 40 km around Bengaluru — 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 Bengaluru can take a while to appear. If you spot one of the 7 that's closed, or a great arcade we missed, the fix is to update the map itself — that's where this guide reads from.

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 7 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.
