Arcade tips for Kamloops

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

• Ask about tournaments at The Wreck Room. Fighting game and pinball tournaments run weekly in many towns. Beginners are usually welcome and it's the fastest way to improve.
• Dance machines are cardio at The Fun Factor. Serious players treat them as workouts. Bring water, wear real shoes, and don't be embarrassed — everyone starts somewhere.
• Check the retro corner. The old cabinets in the back are often the best-maintained — they're somebody's pride and joy.
• Check age policies. Some arcades are all-ages by day and 19+ at night, especially the bar-arcade hybrids. Check before bringing kids.

Good to know

We searched about 40 km around Kamloops — 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 Kamloops can take a while to appear. If you spot one of the 2 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 2 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.
