Retro Arcade Night
Share a night of fun, excitement and a bit of friendly competition at a retro arcade. It's a wholesome date that will have you and your partner reminiscing about childhood, bonding over shared experiences and creating new memories together.
- You and your partner will meet at a specified arcade where a night of fun awaits. You'll grab your tokens and browse the selection of games, from classic arcade hits to pinball tables. The goal of this date is to just enjoy each other's company and maybe have a friendly competition in between. As the night draws to a close, celebrate your victories and laugh off your losses, making for a memorable and fun date night.
- You could also involve choosing random games for each other to play, which could end up in giggles if it's one neither of you have tried before. Maybe take it in turns to pick games, or see who can score the highest on a chosen machine. Believe it or not, arcade games can be a bonding experience, and creating these fun memories together will only bring you both closer.
- To end the night on a sweet note, grab a scoop of ice cream from a nearby parlor. Ice cream and games, a match made in heaven.
Preparation steps:
- There isn't much preparation needed for this date. Dress comfortably, but keep in mind the evening temperature drop so bring a jacket or sweater. You could create a fun gaming challenge ahead of time to make the date more interesting (highest score, first to win at a game, etc.).
- Make sure you have cash on you for tokens, and maybe make a reservation or call ahead to guarantee seating if the arcade venue allows. Doing so can prevent you from having to wait outside or not being able to get in, especially on popular nights.
- Lastly, do some research about the arcade beforehand. Learn what their peak times are, what games they have, where exactly they are located and if they require any specific guidelines due to COVID-19.

Some tips:
- Make sure to have fun, don't get too competitive! The point of the arcade date night is to create a nostalgic experience for you and your partner. Be playful, light-hearted and enjoy the experience.
- Make sure to practice good etiquette when playing in the arcade. Don't hog a game for too long especially if others are waiting, and reset games after you're done playing.
