GRAND OPENING JULY 31

What is Boss Battle Games?

For $20 + HST, your wristband unlocks unlimited arcade play for the entire day.

Challenge your friends, chase high scores, step away for lunch at the food court, catch a movie, and come right back for another round.

Backed by 10+ years of arcade experience, we’re bringing Ottawa a true 90’s-style arcade built by people who grew up in arcades — for people who grew up in arcades.

What makes Boss Battle Games different from other arcades?

Honestly? We care.

We’re a high school sweetheart husband-and-wife team who grew up together spending way too much time in places just like this. We’re personally involved in everything: maintaining our machines, testing games, and hand-selecting every cabinet that hits the floor. If we wouldn’t spend our own money to play it, it doesn’t belong here.

Every game here was chosen because we actually love playing it. Not because it’s trendy. Not because an algorithm told us it would perform well. Because it’s fun.

We believe people need places to gather. Places where you can challenge your friends, meet new people, and experience something together. Because rage baiting in an Xbox lobby isn’t exactly the social connection we’re looking for.

We also believe the original hardware matters. The feel of the controls, the glow of a CRT monitor, the sound of the buttons clacking— these games were designed as complete experiences. We work hard to keep our machines playing the way they did back in their prime, so you can step away from the modern world for a while and experience a time when things were just generally better.

Meet You at the Arcade!

Located inside the St. Laurent Shopping Centre next to Sports Chek on the main floor.

Traveling by car? We’re right off the Queensway on St. Laurent Blvd., just a 10 minute drive from Parliament Hill!

Traveling by light rail? We are on the O-Train Line 1 St. Laurent Stop.

Traveling by OC Bus? Hop on the 14 line to the St. Laurent OC Transpo Hub.

Let’s Chat.

Your Questions, Answered

Coin mechs suck, yo. At Boss Battle Games, you pay an admission fee to enter and in return, you have full access to ALL our arcades, consoles, and pinballs at NO EXTRA COST. No tokens. No game cards. No bs.
Simply, yes. Because all our machines are set to free play, we cannot babysit every single person that enters and confirm they are not playing games. Just like Disneyworld or an amusement park, every one pays to enter and every one plays games.
We are NOT a child’s arcade, but supervised, behaved children are welcome. There are no spectators. You and your child will need to pay admission - Yes, we’re forcing you to spend time with your kid!
We will be located inside the St. Laurent Mall in Ottawa, Ontario.
Built on the spirit of the classic arcade—with a twist. Our lineup spans machines from the early ’80s to today. We are not a child casino - our machines do not give you tickets. We’re playing games for the love of the game.
Our Grand Opening is set for July 31, 2026.
