What counts as an arcade in Dawson Creek

A venue built around coin-op and pay-per-play games: classic arcades, bar-arcades, family entertainment centres with a real games floor. What doesn't count: the two dusty cabinets in the laundromat, and casino floors. The bar is a dedicated games venue you can walk into.

Dawson Creek sits about 56° north of the equator, so it gets proper seasons. Arcades are gloriously weatherproof, and winter is peak season: when it's dark at five, the neon looks its best and the floors are busiest.

When arcades in Dawson Creek get mapped, they appear here with addresses and hours where recorded. Mapped means listed — no paid placement, no favourites.

Arcade smarts for Dawson Creek

No mapped arcades yet, but the arcade skills work anywhere. Four worth knowing:

• Bar-arcades: pace yourself. Drinks and games mix well until they don't. The machines get harder exactly as you get worse at them.
• Respect the machine queue. One credit, then rotate on busy machines. Camping a popular cabinet on a Saturday night is poor form.
• 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 ear protection for kids. Arcades are loud. Little ears appreciate plugs, and you'll enjoy it more too.

The kind of venue that belongs here

Somewhere you walk in to play: rows of cabinets, pinball, racing seats. Not two machines in a hallway — a real floor of games.
