Overview

Pizza, Speed Friending, GIANT KAIJU SIZED GAMES! A co-op arcade experience where teamwork, strategy, and pizza will lead to victory!

🎮 CO-OP Arcade Pilot Event: Giant Controller Kaiju Battle


The city is under attack… and only teamwork can save it.


Welcome to CO-OP Arcade, a cooperative arcade experience where team work, strategy, and pizza-as-fuel will lead to success against the game.


This is a players-vs-environment showdown where guests take on classic arcade games… with a kaiju-sized twist:

👉 The controls are massive, so you’ll need to find a partner to play. One pilot handles movement, the other handles actions. Think: two humans, one machine, vs. one giant arcade monster.


🕹️ What to Expect

  • A welcoming, social atmosphere where you’ll meet your fellow “defenders of the city”
  • Unlimited Arcade and Pinball games!
  • Team-based gameplay on classic arcade titles
  • Pizza!

Because we’re using classic arcade games, the experience is accessible, nostalgic, and chaotic in the best way—perfect for all skill levels.


🏆 How It Works

  • Teams will fight through multiple rounds to earn points for humanity
  • After each round, points are added to a shared city defense total
  • Your fate is tied to the group—win together!

🎁 Rewards for Saving the City

If the group hits certain point milestones, everyone gets rewarded for their bravery 🎉

Most groups will secure basic rewards—but reaching the highest tier will require true heroic coordination.


🍕 Fuel for the Fight

Your ticket includes pizza from Tony Boloney's, because saving the city burns calories.


Expect a cozy, slightly chaotic hangout vibe—equal parts arcade, team-building, and low-budget monster movie energy.
