High Score has firmly established itself as the UK’s No.1 free-play arcade. Boasting over 80 games ranging from timeless classics like Space Invaders and PAC-Man to the latest arcade hits, there’s no shortage of entertainment for gamers of all ages and preferences.
Feeling competitive? Challenge your friends or family to a head-to-head race on the latest racing games such as Mario Kart or see who can get the highest score on basketball.
What does the term “free-play’ mean?
Free-play historically refers to the gameplay setting or mode the arcade game has been set to by the owners. Free-play means that you do not require any coins to play the games, and you can keep on playing again and again even after you win or lose. This is a more cost-effective way of playing arcade games as you could easily spend up to £20 worth of coins in half an hour with the traditional arcade pay to play concept. At High Score Arcades you can play multiple games for up to 60 minutes all with one entry fee, you don’t need a pocketful of change and can keep trying for that top score without breaking the bank!
It’s not just about playing games; it’s about reliving cherished memories and creating new ones with friends and family. Connect with the kids, get them out of the house to compete against mum, dad, nan and grandad or find a co-operative game to play to team up in. Whether you’re a seasoned gamer or a newcomer, you’ll find something to love.
To keep our venues safe and to avoid queues for games, we have allocated slots per hour which you can book online or just pay £11.95 at the door. You do have the risk of having to wait till the next available session if we are fully booked, so we advise booking in advance, especially during half terms and bank holiday’s when we are open and tend to get sold out!
High Score Poole’s first year has been nothing short of amazing, and we’re thrilled to continue sharing the joy of arcade gaming with all of you. Here’s to many more years of high scores, memorable moments, and gaming adventures. See you at the arcade!
