Next Level is a video arcade center located in Brooklyn, New York. The arcade is considered a successor to Chinatown Fair and the new “premier hub” of the United States competitive fighting game scene.

We sell trading card games and products (Magic the Gathering, Pokemon, Yu Gi Oh and Cardfight Vanguard). We also host a weekly competitive fighting game tournament on Wednesday called “Next Level Battle Circuit” and other monthly events for video games and trading card games. Check out our event page for more information.

Only a crazy person would open a classic arcade nowadays!…
Make that two crazy people.  Husband and wife team Shawn & Meg Livernoche built their collection of classic arcade games over the years and originally opened High Scores Arcade in 2010 in Burlington, New Jersey.  In 2013 they relocated to Alameda, California and brought High Scores Arcade with them.  The success High Scores has had in Alameda encouraged them to open a second location in Hayward, California in 2016.

The arcade/museum focuses on the classic games of the 1980’s; we feature a mighty collection of all of the favorites – Tron, Pac-Man, Star Wars, Donkey Kong, Punch-Out! – Some cult favorites – Star Castle, Congo Bongo, Ladybug – and some 90’s titles – Street Fighter II, Mortal Kombat II, Revolution X.  Of course, this is a sampling of our game collection, which currently features 45 cabinets with over 400 playable classic games and a well-stocked jukebox pumping only late 70’s and 80’s rock, pop, and hip-hop.

We want to take you back to when gaming was a social experience – play to impress the crowd, basking in the blacklight, throw on your jean jacket and then jump in Outrun for a victory lap.
