Arcade tips for Trondheim

Hitting the arcades in Trondheim? Play smarter:

• Don't feed a broken machine at Work-Work. If it eats your credit without starting, tell staff immediately. Good venues refund; all venues should know.
• Learn one game deeply at Trondheim Bilbane Center. Regulars pick a machine and master it. Chasing high scores on one game beats dabbling across twenty.
• Watch the regulars first. The high-score table tells you which machines are hot and who's worth watching. Fifteen minutes of watching teaches plenty.
• Check for party packages. Birthday parties at arcades are a whole industry. If you're organising one, book ahead — weekends sell out.
