From Arcade Days to Crafting Gaming Memories

Arcade Box was born from a love of retro gaming, pinball machines, and community fun. For years, we operated a beloved arcade venue on the Sunshine Coast — a place where locals and travellers alike would drop in, insert a token, and lose themselves in pinball, racing games, VR, and more. As one reviewer put it: “pinball heaven, great games that are maintained well and rarely have errors or problems.” Tripadvisor+1 Another called it “old school gaming fun” — a spot families visit “to escape the heat” with affordable, nostalgic entertainment.

We were more than just a place to play — we were a gathering point. With around 20 pinballs and several arcade cabinets (plus VR), all games ran at just $1 per play, inviting everyone to enjoy the fun without a big price tag.

Why We Transitioned

Running a public arcade is a beautiful but demanding endeavour. As the years passed, we felt our strengths lay in what we did best — designing, building, and supporting arcade and virtual pinball hardware — rather than operating a physical venue.

So, we made a conscious shift. While the doors to our arcade may have closed, our passion for creating—and enabling others to create—never did.
