Arcades in Cebu City

Arcades are pure joy per dollar. Cebu City, Central Visayas has 1 mapped right now. Just the one mapped arcade in Cebu City — which makes it a local landmark by default. Check what's actually working before you go. Off-peak hours mean shorter waits on the good machines and your pick of the racing seats.

This guide covers every arcade we could verify in and around Cebu City (within about 40 km), built from OpenStreetMap's community-maintained data. The one to know is 699. If an arcade's missing from Cebu City's list, it probably just hasn't been mapped yet.

Arcade tips for Cebu City

The regulars' rules for Cebu City's arcades:

• The classics are cheapest at 699. Pac-Man, Galaga, the old cabinets — usually the lowest price per play and still the most fun per minute.
• Respect the machine queue. One credit, then rotate on busy machines. Camping a popular cabinet on a Saturday night is poor form.
• Check the retro corner. The old cabinets in the back are often the best-maintained — they're somebody's pride and joy.
• Eat before the big session. Arcade food is priced for captives. Eat properly beforehand and save the budget for games.

Good to know

We searched about 40 km around Cebu City — 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 Cebu City can take a while to appear. The 1 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 1 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.
