Build an Arcade ️

Build an Arcade is a tycoon game on Roblox developed by Our Arcade, launched May 2025. With 32.8 million visits, 750-1,250 concurrent players, and a 98.2% approval rating from over 187,000 votes, it ranks as one of the top-performing tycoon games on the platform. The developer group has over 700,000 Roblox members. Servers hold up to 6 players.

The loop follows the classic tycoon format: start with a small plot, place arcade machines, collect the Cash customers spend at them, and reinvest into more machines and expanded floor space. The Offline Earnings mechanic keeps the game relevant between sessions - the arcade accumulates money while you are away, and logging back in to collect and expand is the natural rhythm:

• 🏠 Arcade Machines - the core income units; different machine types generate different rates, and placement flow affects customer throughput
• 💎 VIP Customers - premium NPC visitors who spend significantly more than regular customers; a key income multiplier obtainable through codes or purchases
• 🎭 Layouts - visual themes for floors and walls including the Midas Layout (premium gold-themed) and seasonal options
• ⏳ Offline Earnings - the arcade accumulates Cash while you are not playing; upgrading machines directly increases AFK income
• 💰 Prismatic Potions - boost items from codes that enhance arcade performance for a period
• 🏆 Seasonal Events - active seasonal updates including the Easter Bunny event in April 2026

Cash scales quickly once VIP Customers begin arriving - each one contributes higher-value visits than standard traffic. The Basement gamepass (249 R$) unlocks an underground floor for additional machine slots, the primary early capacity upgrade beyond the starting plot.

Our Arcade has one of the richest code histories in the tycoon genre with 23 total releases tied to like milestones, visit milestones, and Discord community goals. The build-an-arcade.fandom.com wiki (159 pages, active) documents machines, layouts, and upgrade strategies.
