Headset-free multiplayer gaming system for up to 10 players ages 8+. Combines projection mapping, motion tracking, and arcade controls in a 14.5′ × 16.5′ space. Seven social games, 10-minute average play, configurable for high-throughput or private rental.
Arcade Arena is a headset-free multiplayer gaming system that combines projection mapping, motion tracking, and traditional arcade controls in a 14.5′ × 16.5′ space. Built by an operator in Minnesota, it accommodates up to 10 players at once across 7 different social games.
The system uses three projector screens with LIDAR sensors for touch tracking, machine vision for body tracking, and arcade-style controllers with monitors. Some players work in the projection-mapped arena while others operate from external control stations. Average game length is 10 minutes. Sessions can run from 2 minutes (single-game quick play) up to 90 minutes (full session), depending on the operator’s chosen model.
Arcade Arena targets multi-generational groups — ages 8 and up — with gameplay modes that include co-op, PvP, and team-versus-team formats. Games cover themes like museum heists, lava escape, and ghost hunting. No attendant is required for operation.
The system supports two pricing models: high-throughput (69 players per hour at $9 per play) or unlimited private rental ($210 per hour for 60-minute sessions). Spectators can watch via overhead monitors. Introduced in 2022. US support provided by BARNCO Entertainment LLC.
