- End on a win at Gamestate. Finish with a game you're good at. Leaving on a high score beats leaving on a tilt.
- Eat before the big session at Akiba District. Arcade food is priced for captives. Eat properly beforehand and save the budget for games.

Good to know
We searched about 30 km around Utrecht — 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 Utrecht can take a while to appear. The 14 above are only as current as the community map. A arcade that's shut, or a new one nobody's added yet, gets fixed with a single OpenStreetMap edit.
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 14 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.
