Arcade tips for Powell River

Hitting the arcades in Powell River? Play smarter:

• Respect the machine queue at Archie's Entertainment. One credit, then rotate on busy machines. Camping a popular cabinet on a Saturday night is poor form.
• 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.
• Bring ear protection for kids. Arcades are loud. Little ears appreciate plugs, and you'll enjoy it more too.
