Join us Saturday & Sunday, Nov. 21–22 from 12PM–12PM EST for a 24-hour in-person gaming marathon in support of Extra Life, a charity that raises money for Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals.
The full marathon will be streamed live on Twitch, featuring exhibition runs of console classics and arcade games all on real hardware.
100% of proceeds raised during the event go to Connecticut Children’s.
Looking to attend? We're open for business as usual during the event period–no registration required!
Be sure to read and follow our venue rules.
Our standard $20 USD entry fee applies to all guests and runners (1/2 of all entry fees are automatically submitted as donations to our tracker).
Everyone is welcome to enjoy whatever games we have available on the floor throughout the day, but be aware of the schedule–we will kindly ask you to step away from a setup if it is needed.
Please be mindful of games being actively streamed–do not interrupt streamers, walk in front of cameras/TVs, etc.
Cutoff for submissions is Sunday, Nov 15 at 8:00PM EST
For arcade games, refer to our master list of all available PCBs and multis.
Many of our cabinets feature Undamned USB Decoders if you would prefer to use your own controller (we make no guarantees regarding compatibility).
For console games, refer to our Loft page for info on all available systems and game selection.
We also have a PC-in-an-arcade-cabinet available with our own Steam library featuring games suitable for play on joystick + buttons.
If you'd like to run something on this, please reach out to us on Discord first.
Exhibition runs of all types are allowed–speedruns, challenge runs, co-op play, even casual playthroughs!
You are welcome to propose incentives, bonus runs, etc. which we may implement at our discretion.
Please be prepared to provide your own commentary–staff may also join on comms for engagement.
Staff has the final say over the schedule and any conflicts or issues that may come up during the event.
We cannot guarantee availability of your game for practice prior to your run, especially if on console.
Please plan to be on site at least 30 minutes before your run is scheduled to begin!
