Arcade tips for Geneva

The regulars' rules for Geneva's arcades:

• Ask about tournaments at C L'Aventure. Fighting game and pinball tournaments run weekly in many towns. Beginners are usually welcome and it's the fastest way to improve.
• Check machine maintenance at Laser Game. A venue that maintains its machines cares. Dead screens and sticky buttons are a review of the management.
• Bar-arcades: pace yourself. Drinks and games mix well until they don't. The machines get harder exactly as you get worse at them.
• Save your high-score photo. Take the photo. High scores are ephemeral and the bragging rights are forever.

Good to know

We searched about 30 km around Geneva — 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 Geneva 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.
