Arcades in Magog

We haven't mapped any arcades in Magog, Quebec yet. We searched about 25 km around town in OpenStreetMap's community data — arcades — and came up empty. That usually means the places exist but nobody's mapped them, not that there's nothing to find. This page refreshes daily from the latest map data, so a blank today can be a full guide tomorrow.

Classic, bar-arcade, retro: the three flavours

Classic arcades are all-ages and game-first. Bar-arcades mix drinks with cabinets and skew adult in the evenings. Retro venues curate the old cabinets lovingly and often run the best-maintained floors. All three count here, and the best arcade towns have all three.

Magog sits about 45° 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 Magog's arcades do get mapped, check the websites for tournament nights and free-play evenings — that's where the real value is.

Arcade smarts for Magog

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

• Go off-peak. Weekday afternoons mean no queues on the good machines and your pick of the racing seats. Friday night is the opposite.
• Check for party packages. Birthday parties at arcades are a whole industry. If you're organising one, book ahead — weekends sell out.
• Set a budget. Arcade spending evaporates. Decide the amount up front, load it on the card, and stop when it's gone.
• 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.

What earns a listing in Magog

Our bar is a dedicated games venue open to the public. Arcades, bar-arcades, retro gaming bars — if the machines are the point, it qualifies. Casino floors don't.

When a qualifying arcade gets mapped in Magog, this page updates on the next refresh with its name, address where available, and whatever hours, phone or website the mappers recorded. Nothing here is paid placement and nothing is sponsored — if it's on the map, it's on the page.

This page refreshes daily from the latest map data, so the moment a qualifying arcade appears in Magog's OpenStreetMap data, it shows up here — usually within a day of being mapped.

One edit is all it takes

Dayfari's arcades listings are read straight from OpenStreetMap, which means anyone can fix them. An arcade in Magog needs exactly one volunteer to add it — tagged leisure=amusement_arcade — and the next refresh pulls it onto this page automatically. The most useful details are the arcade's name, its street address, and its opening hours — even a name and a pin on the map is enough to get started.
