How to Organize an Arcade Birthday Party at Triple Play
When it comes to birthday parties, some kids just live for the arcade. The flashing lights, the friendly competition, and the thrill of tickets and prizes. An arcade-themed party is perfect for kids who want a fast-paced, hands-on celebration.
At Triple Play Family Fun Park, you can easily create a party that’s all about the games, without the stress of planning, prepping, or cleaning up.
Here’s how to make it happen.
Pick the Right Age Group
Arcade parties work best for older kids and teens—think ages 8–16.
Why?
- They can manage their own game cards and play independently
- Social dynamics are stronger: they communicate, strategize, and cheer each other on (they also tend to stick together)
- Fewer parents are needed to chase after kids as they break away from the group and run from one game to the next
Younger children can enjoy arcade games too, but older kids will get the most out of the experience without constant supervision.
Book Your Party
Even though the arcade is the star, you still need a place to gather, eat, and celebrate:
- Reserve a party table for your group. It gives a 1-hour home base for:
- Pizza and drinks
- Cake
- Opening presents
Decide How Much Arcade Play to Include
Triple Play makes it easy to customize your party around arcade play:
- Pre-loaded arcade cards: Give each guest a set amount to use on games, keeping it fair and fun.
- Exclusive birthday party discount: Reserved parties can get $40 worth of arcade play for $32.50.
- Ticket 2sday Advantage: If your party falls on a Tuesday from 5–9 PM, you can take advantage of double arcade tickets! This makes your party feel extra rewarding without extra cost. Don’t forget, Ticket 2sday is not available on holidays or during school breaks.
Party Pro Tip: Track arcade cards: Be sure to add your Triple Play Account to your transaction when purchasing arcade cards so we can look them up if they go missing!
Keep It Flexible
Arcade parties are ideal for flexible, budget-conscious planning:
- You can combine arcade play with attractions or make it purely games
- Arcade credits can be purchased in increments, so families can tailor it to their budget
Plus, if your party falls on Ticket 2sday, you automatically get extra value with double tickets.
The Bottom Line
Arcade birthday parties at Triple Play are perfect for older kids and teens who want independence, friendly competition, and a fast-paced celebration. Pair it with Ticket 2sday for maximum fun and value.
