Welcome to ARCstage

ARCstage is Alberta's first Dedicated Rhythm Game Arcade, locally owned and managed.

It's the first of the first, in a city where only the odd music game could be found at a local redemption arcade, bringing the most notorious and cult classic rhythm games to the public access.

While some players could previously play on local controllers, and privately owned machines, ARC wants to revive the days where you could go to an arcade, and play on a good quality authetic cab, without worrying about what the last kid at the family-fun centre did with his diet-soda.

ARCstage at its heart plans to be the local rhythm game community in edmonton, desiring to be THE place to play east-asian rhythm games in Edmonton.

With our opening date soon coming, and all the last pieces coming together, we cant wait to welcome you here, to the future of the heart of edmontons rhythm gaming culture.

We’ve lined up some of the most legendary rhythm game cabinets from across the sea, but we're not revealing them just yet.

While we prep the floor and power up the lights, take a guess at these three machines and share your predictions!
