Retro Arcade
The Retro Arcade takes teens back to the 80s-90s. Arcade cabinets, pixel art, and neon atmosphere — a nostalgic party that teens find genuinely cool.
Activity Ideas
Set up retro games on emulators (Pac-Man, Tetris, Mario, Sonic) on a computer or retro console. A classic game tournament with a leaderboard. A pixel art workshop with Hama/Perler beads. A high score challenge.
An 80s/90s pop culture quiz and a dance pad game if available.
Decoration Tips
Neon on black — hot pink, blue, and green glow. Cardboard arcade cabinets as decor. Pixel characters from Post-it notes on walls. Neon signs from electroluminescent wire. Vintage VHS tapes and controllers as props.
Pixel hearts and stars everywhere. A giant scoreboard.
Food & Treats
Serve nachos, hot dogs, and rectangular pizza cut into squares (like pixels!). Retro sodas and classic 80s candy (gummy bears, lollipops).
The cake: a pixel art cake with colored fondant squares forming a character, or an arcade cabinet cake.
Pro Tips
Rent arcade cabinets if budget allows — guaranteed wow factor. Otherwise, a Raspberry Pi with RetroPie makes an excellent home arcade for a few dollars.
