Northwest Pinball & Arcade Show

Once a year we build the biggest arcade the Northwest has ever seen!

Designated as: Large event (> 100 attending)

-400+ games on freeplay the entire weekend. We bring all our games for you to play - they aren't pulled from the floor early, the freeplay area doesn't have limited hours, and we have a huge team of repair medics that fix problems as they come up. Play all day and night up until closing. There will be lots of rare games, lots of homebrews, and lots of the newest games on the market!

-The venue is a newer, large convention center with mega high ceilings, air conditioning and lots of space, even when it's full, it doesn't feel crowded. It's attached to a brand new Marriot hotel, there are multiple hotels within 3 blocks and we have discounted rates at all them. There is beer and wine onsite and multiple awesome breweries within a few blocks walk of the venue, as well as great restaurants, the Chihuly Glass Museum and the LeMay Car Museum. Tacoma has everything from tiki bars to dive bars and high end dining to diners.

-Show pinball tournaments include the Northwest Women's Championship, the massive Open Matchplay tournament, the Classics Pingolf, the Rookie/Amateur and a Kid's Tournament. There will also be an arcade tournament run by Another Castle Arcade.

-Homebrew games, rare games, new games... lots and lots of games! Our show is becoming thee show to debut or bring your homebrew game to, in part because FAST Pinball is local and has a huge set up with their community at the show. Homebrewers come talk shop and show us what you've built!
