What is Boss Battle Games?
For $20 + HST*, your wristband unlocks unlimited arcade play for the entire day. YES! You have re-entry privileges with your admission!
Spend time with 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.

The arcade is a very loud environment with a lot of flashing lights, a dim ambiance, and often times, a lot of people. If this causes physical or mental distress, for everyone’s safety and comfort, we would NOT recommend our arcade.
We brought back the mall arcade and now we’re making Halloween fetch again.
Join us at Boss Battle Games on Friday, October 30 from 4–9 PM as we team up with Capital Ghostbusters to raise money for Big House Cat Rescue!
A portion of every admission will be donated to Big House Cat Rescue.
Your feature presentation includes:
In honour of all the hard work Big House has done to help these chonky kitties lose weight, our goal is to keep the DDR machine running the ENTIRE event - we want to “move it, move it” in the name of fat cats!
We’ll be hosting an in-person costume contest at 8pm sharp! Winners will receive trophies, bragging rights, and more! Categories will be announced soon - keep watching for more details.
Completely free and fun photo opportunities with the Capital Ghostbusters! Who YOU gonna call?
Of course, unlimited arcade and pinball play with your admission. Same normal admission price! Just $20+HST per person.
Friday, October 30 • 4–9 PM
Costumes encouraged - Nostalgia guaranteed - Cats helped
Be kind. Rewind.

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.
We are now offering group rates for groups 20+! Shoot us a message for details.

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 are located inside St. Laurent Mall, next to Sports Chek. You can reach us at the top of the escalators from the OC Hub!
-
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.
Hey Look Ma, We Made It!
