Formerly known as Death by Audio Arcade, we have been making hardware and building experiences since 2013. Some highlights from our past include:

• Launching the MAGFest Indie Arcade in 2013 with Crystal Brawl
• Partnering with Low Level Festival in 2014 and 2016
• Showcasing at the Smithsonian American Art Museum Arcade in 2017 and 2019
• Creating pop-up arcades in a different venue for each month of 2018
• Helping open Wonderville Arcade in 2019 and collaborating on the arcade gallery space

Thanks to the efforts of our larger community, Arcade Commons has been able to fund a studio space in Brooklyn that’s allowed us to better connect with and empower creators in the larger New York indie game scene.
