Thanks so much to everyone who joined us for the inaugural pinball tournament in Clifton park at Herbie’s Burgers!

Congrats to the winner Ron! Ron mentioned he hasn’t played pinball since it was all bells and chimes, before it went digital in the 80s!
Pinball has always been fundamentally the same game, it may be flashier now, but it’s still just you versus machine!

Big thank you to Herbie’s Burgers for providing the prizes! We had so much fun!

We hope to see everyone at our next event!

We had the best time speaking with students today at Skidmore college! We were fortunate to share the joys and challenges of opening a non-profit pinball museum with students!

The first year was the hardest hurdle to get over, we want to thank everyone who has supported the museum and invite you all to join us for the next year ahead!!

Thank you to everyone who attended our Arcade Revival Movement events last week at Troy Rewind - Arcade Bar & Retro Lounge - we had so much fun!
Did you hear about our tournament on 90.3 WAMC Northeast Public Radio ? Coverage of our tournament from first time participant Annie B was included on their newest podcast!

We were so happy to have so many first time tournament goers! Our tournaments are beginner friendly! It’s about having fun!!

We want to thank NerdyByNature for donating a super cool coin slot magnet to help us provide prizes!

Our prize pool to celebrate first, second and the caboose!! A reminder too- we host lessons on the Monday before our monthly tournaments, come practice and build your skills before the big day!

We also hosted a cat party! Celebrating our feline friends brought a furry kind of fun to playing arcade games!

A look into the mind of cats- and the mind of their servants… we mean owners.
