8-Bit and Tik Tok’s weeklies will have a Halloween twist – Jupiter probably will too although we’re not 100% sure. Add-a-Ball, Shorty’s, Passable and Triple Knock are all having special costume parties. A special shout out to Georgetown Pizza who begin their first anniversary celebration with a karaoke/costume contest tonight as well. For more details and updates check out our events calendar…
Pinfall was originally going to happen at the Ice Box also but due to an unfortunate circumstance it is now only happening at the 4B’s. This means less people may be able to compete since there are less games available at this location. The start time is listed as 420pm but you may want to show up earlier. More infor about Pinfall can be found on our events calendar: Here
Along with the Friday Night Live tourney, the Ice Box is also hosting a costume party on Saturday. Another Castle Bremerton is having a Halloween Party on Saturday evening also. Since Halloween is on a Tuesday this year there will most likely be event updates happening this weekend; check out our events calendar for more details…

Earlier this month the local City Council passed legistration getting rid of the license that forced businesses to pay for each device that required payment to play. This was an annual fee that included devices such as pool tables, jukeboxes, arcade games and (of course) pinball machines. The license was repealled as a way to help downtown businesses attract more foot traffic and customers, which still haven’t recovered from the 2020 lock down.
