ACCESSIBLE ARCADES
More ways to play.
More high fives.
Bring adaptive gaming into a place your community already knows. We help libraries and other gathering spaces create a welcoming way to try, play, and connect.

BUILT AROUND YOUR PEOPLE
Many ways in.
One shared experience.
Different people need different controls. We help you choose and arrange equipment around your community, then support your team as you put it to use.
Plan your accessible arcade
WHAT SHARED PLAY CAN LOOK LIKE
That moment?
That’s the point.
A different controller. A little guidance. Someone to share the game with. Accessible play can start with ordinary changes that make a new experience possible.
Vicki coordinated Deerfield Public Library’s adaptive arcade work, bringing together staff, equipment, and community. Steve and Vicki shared that experience at ALA; American Libraries reported on the practical details and the connections behind it.

An arcade can start
with a single invitation.
Accessible arcades are spaces where people can explore different ways to play. They can bring together adaptive controllers, familiar games, considered seating and positioning, and staff who know how to help.
The starting point is the people you want to serve. We help you think through the equipment, the experience, and the everyday details that make a space usable.
BUILT FOR THE PLACES PEOPLE GATHER
- Libraries and community centers
- Conventions and public events
- Residential and care settings
- Hospitals and other community spaces
Have a different setting in mind? We’d love to hear it.
CHOOSE YOUR LEVEL OF SUPPORT

For teams ready to do the buying and setup.

For teams that want us to source an agreed equipment plan.

THE GUIDED PARTNERSHIP
Hands-on support.
Without the travel day.
Your team knows your community. We bring accessibility and institutional experience to the planning, setup, and launch. Together, we work through the details remotely and in real time.
01
Your space, mapped out.
We consider your room, your goals, and who will be using the arcade before shaping the setup.
02
Your team, supported.
We guide setup, work through questions, and help staff feel ready to welcome people in.
03
Your next steps, clear.
Your proposal explains the sessions, materials, and support period included, with room to add help later.

A FEW GOOD QUESTIONS
Let’s clear a little space.
Do we need a dedicated arcade room?
Tell us about the space you have. We can discuss a dedicated room, a shared area, or an event setup and consider what is realistic for your setting.
Can you work with equipment we already own?
Yes. We can review what you have and discuss how it might fit your plan before recommending additional purchases.
Can you travel to us?
Yes. Remote guidance is available, and on-site work is quoted around the location, travel, staffing, and scope. Larger multi-day engagements can include both Steve and Vicki.
How much does an arcade cost?
There is no single package price at this stage. The equipment, size of the setup, and level of service all matter. A conversation lets us put together a proposal with those costs clearly separated.
Do you include training?
Training and workshops can be included in your proposal. We’ll agree who needs support, what they need to learn, and how the sessions will work.
Your community.
Its next great place to play.
Bring us an idea, a challenge, or a question. You’ll talk with the people who will do the work.
