Because he wanted to level up family game time.  

As much as we love a classic dad joke, this one particularly hits home. With Father’s Day around the corner, it’s not just about finding a great gift — it’s about making memories with the family that will last a lifetime. And nothing brings generations together quite like gathering around a joystick for a little friendly family competition. 

Whether you're shopping for the ultimate Father’s Day surprise or you're a dad treating yourself, Arcade1Up is here to deliver unforgettable moments through #ConnectedPlay. 

From our Deluxe Arcade Machines to our fan-favorite Classic Special Editions, every Arcade1Up machine is built with Dad in mind — because deep down, he’s a gamer who’s ready to pass the torch (and maybe dominate a few rounds of PAC-MAN while he’s at it). 

What makes Arcade1Up the perfect Father’s Day gift? 

• Licensed titles from the golden age of gaming – From PAC-MAN™ to NBA JAM™, give Dad the games he grew up with and would still love to play. 

• Easy at-home setup, no quarters required – With Task Rabbit assembly available, skip the DIY stage all together and get straight to family fun. 

• A centerpiece for family rooms, basements, and game rooms – Mom’s usually get to pick the décor, so let dad have a little something of his own to show off his gaming style. 

• Bragging rights for years to come – He may not be the young man he used to be, but by does he still got it when it comes to handling a joystick. 

• Family bonding, powered by play – Kids vs. Dad? Game on. These machines spark laughter, competition, and family connection. 

• A direct line to his nostalgia – Let him relive his arcade glory days — now with his own cheering section. 

So, this year, skip the socks and grilling gear. Give Dad the gift of connected play — and the chance to start new traditions, one high score at a time.
