The 2022 Houston Arcade & Pinball Expo will be our 20th year and all of us down here in Southeast Texas are looking forward to hosting our biggest and best show to-date this year!!

If you haven't been to our show, it's the best 80s Arcade Party around with around 300 games, beginning at Noon, Friday Nov. 11th and running through 2:00pm Sunday Nov. 13th! Historically the show has only been Fri-Sat, but we're adding an extra half-day to give everyone a little extra game time!

And the best thing is our gameroom is open ALL NIGHT until people are done partying for the night. We do not close the gameroom at Midnight like most shows and typically kept it open until at least 2am.
