About
The Arcade

Our Story

A family-owned arcade,
built for our community.

Hardwired Arcade is a family-owned business in the heart of Flushing, Michigan. We've been passionate about gaming for as long as we can remember, and we built this place to share that with you.

From the golden-age cabinets that started it all, to today's big-screen consoles, pinball, claw machines, and more we want every visit to feel like the best version of an afternoon at the arcade.

What we stand for

Why We're Here

Four things we keep coming back to whenever we decide what to add to the floor, how to price tokens, or how to run a party.

01

Family-owned

No franchise, no parent company. Just us, our family, and a building full of games we love.

02

Affordable Fun

Quarter-style pricing, free admission, and packages built so a crew can play all afternoon without breaking the bank.

03

Local First

We're part of downtown Flushing. We partner with neighbors, host community events, and send people next door for ice cream.

04

Hardwired for Fun

Every cabinet, console, and claw is here because we'd want to play it ourselves.

Hardwired Arcade tokens, controllers, and merch

Made in Flushing

Our tokens have our name,
and fun is our game!

We're at 122 East Main Street just a few minutes from the Flint River Trail, walkable to lunch, dinner, and a half dozen shops. Come spend a quarter, stay for an afternoon, make it a whole day.
