He said the important thing to note is that the group of visitors consists of people who are already in each others’ bubbles, not people who haven’t seen each other in two months. In order to preserve the arcade experience for visitors, they decided to stick with private rentals for groups instead. “When we thought about opening to the public and putting a bunch of barriers up it started to not look like an arcade anymore.” “The thing about the arcade experience is that it’s a specific experience that has to do with the way it looks and feels in there,” Webb said.

The arcade setting caters to a lot of contact with different surfaces, Webb said, so they had to close their doors pretty quickly out of concern for customers and staff. “We just really wanted to get people back in there but didn’t feel quite ready to open to the public yet,” said Quazar’s co-owner Steve Webb. Groups of up to 20 people – all in the same contact bubble – have full access to the 3,000 square foot arcade so everyone can enjoy the experience while maintaining physical distance. The games no longer take tokens and are free play for the full two hours instead. In order to ensure machines are cleaned for the same group of people each time, the arcade is only allowing group bookings to rent out the entire space for a two-hour period. Quazar’s Arcade is ready to welcome back visitors but things will be a little different for the time being. A Victoria arcade revamped its business model so game lovers can enjoy classic pinball and video games again despite the COVID-19 pandemic.
