Arcade tips for Ghent

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

• Dance machines are cardio at Chronos Racing. Serious players treat them as workouts. Bring water, wear real shoes, and don't be embarrassed — everyone starts somewhere.
• Save your high-score photo at Quiz Room. Take the photo. High scores are ephemeral and the bragging rights are forever.
• Check for party packages. Birthday parties at arcades are a whole industry. If you're organising one, book ahead — weekends sell out.
• Check the payment system first. Tokens, reloadable cards, coins, or tap-to-play — every venue differs. Ask at the counter before you feed the wrong thing.

Good to know

We searched about 30 km around Ghent — 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 Ghent can take a while to appear. Spotted a closure among the 7, or a arcade we missed entirely? The map is the source of truth here — one OpenStreetMap edit corrects it for everyone.

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.
