What counts as an arcade in Wells

A venue built around coin-op and pay-per-play games: classic arcades, bar-arcades, family entertainment centres with a real games floor. What doesn't count: the two dusty cabinets in the laundromat, and casino floors. The bar is a dedicated games venue you can walk into.

Wells sits about 53° 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 arcades in Wells get mapped, they appear here with addresses and hours where recorded. Mapped means listed — no paid placement, no favourites.

Arcade smarts for Wells

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

• End on a win. Finish with a game you're good at. Leaving on a high score beats leaving on a tilt.
• Test the controls before committing. Joysticks drift, buttons stick, guns misalign. One test credit saves a wasted game.
• Learn the ticket-to-prize math. Glance at the prize counter before playing ticket games. If the math horrifies you, play the video games instead.
• Bring ear protection for kids. Arcades are loud. Little ears appreciate plugs, and you'll enjoy it more too.
