This June we will be hosting our first retrofest here at R-CADE Glasgow. We have a jam packed schedule of events to celebrate the best in retro gaming, including some epic retro tournaments, high score challenges and even a family video game quiz!
To kick off the month we have not one, but TWO quiz events all about video games. Visit our Eventbrite page HERE to book in your team and join us from 7pm on Saturday the 1st for our over 18's video game quiz. If you want to test your trivia with the kids then get booked in for our family video game quiz on Sunday the 2nd from 5pm. Tickets for this event are available HERE.
Saturday the 8th kicks off our tournament month with our over 18's Mortal Kombat 3 tournament on the Sega Mega Drive. Prizes for our top two players and BYOB on the night! You can enter via Eventbrite HERE.
The following week we will be celebrating one of the best arcade games of the 80's; Space Invaders! On Friday the 14th we will be hosting our Space Invaders Boardgame tutorial night in the cafe. Tickets for this can be found on Eventbrite HERE. On Saturday the 15th we will be setting up our arcade table to give everyone a chance to enter our high score challenge. At the end of the day the high score winner will receive a Space Invaders wall light! On Thursday the 20th of June we will be hosting our monthly Party Games night in the cafe. This month we will be playing one of our favourite retro party games: Worms Armageddon! Tickets for this event are not yet on sale but keep your eyes peeled on our socials for updates.
Friday the 21st we will be hosting our first ever Date Night in the arcade. 3 whole hours of unrestricted gaming for over 18's. You can bring a date, a friend, your aunty Gene, we don't judge! It will just be a great evening of multiplayer retro games and fun times! Tickets can be bought from our Eventbrite page HERE. Please note that ticket prices are for two people. Over18's only, BYOB.
To end the month, and to celebrate the finals of the Classic Tetris World Championships in The US, we will be hosting our very own Classic Tetris tournament in the arcade. This event will follow the Classic Tetris rules (well, as much as we can!) The winner will receive a pretty epic prize too; a GT Omega Elite Series Gaming Chair! To enter our tournament you can visit our Eventbrite page HERE. Of course we will also be running our usual family friendly sessions every weekend, our over 18's sessions from 7pm, our quiet game sessions every Thursday from 12-2pm, our TTRPG and D&D events hosted by Roll Wi' It, and our board game meetup every Friday from 7pm. Tickets for all of our events can be found on our arcade page. We hope to kick off the summer with a retro gaming BANG, so make sure to buy your tickets, pop in for a wee game or snack in the cafe, tell your family and friends and we will see you in June!
