This place is awesome! Spent all Sunday afternoon playing games. Took my teenage daughter with me and we both had a great time! Game selection is great! Customer service was great! I highly recommend getting the day pass. Coming back soon!

A wonderful trip down memory lane! A classic arcade with unlimited free play! Exactly what I dreamed of as a child! Great place to bond and spend time with my son! Playing games old and new! 10 stars!

Great prices for fun. Definitely returning. Helpful and friendly staff, a good selection of games, and laid out in a way that doesnt crowd people just trying to pass by (could also say helps with social distancing, too). Great addition to the mall.

If youre like me, youve likely lamented the death of the arcade scene. Whereas in my youth, there were arcades everywhere, now we seem to only get places dealing in ticket games.No longer. Boss Battle Games is an arcade in the classic arcade style, with a modern update. One price and you can play all day. They even have console systems set up for you to play. Theyve got quite a few of the classic arcade games, as well as a few machines with multiple games. And for those of you who love pinball, theyve got that too, though pinball is paid per game.If youre looking for an arcade with classic games, look no further.If that wasnt enough, they also sell used video games, both US and Japanese, for incredibly good prices.I honestly cannot reccomend Boss Battle Games enough.

On a weekday I did a Pay by the hour. ($7/per) Pretty fun—I ended up trying a lot of games I wouldn’t have if it was pay per game. ^_^ Lots of retro games. Some solid rhythm games too.

Boss Battle is just the best. Their collection of games is well curated, everything seems to work and the whole place is good and clean. Boss Battle is just what I want when Id like to play old video games. The pricing is right too. On this visit, I and my 15 year old son walked in and chose the all day option. I honestly thought we wouldnt make it an hour. We walked out 2 hours later having had a wonderfully fun afternoon!Look this is what it is, a small business trying to provide the best it can from machines that were built decades ago. BUT, if retro is what you want, you wont be disapointed in your time here!

Very fun! Pinball is not included in the general admission though, could you put that on the website? We went mainly for the pinball so we were kinda sad. but everything else was super fun!

Great arcade with all the nostalgic fighting games and newer ones as well. A fantastic place for random competition all while making lasting friendships among fellow gamers.

What a perfect place to play games! They have an outstanding collection of the best arcade games from my childhood! And the price cant be beat. Insted of paying for each game you want to play, they have all the games set to Free Play and simply have a reasonable entry fee. I highly recommend Boss Battle Games!

Would recommend 100% cool people. Cool environment. Can’t beat the amount of game for the price.

Boss Battle Games had a variety of arcade machines. My friends and I all found games we liked, was a blast playing with eachother. Recommend!

Amazing selection of arcade games and friendly staff. $10 to play all day. DDR fans will be happy to find a supernova 2 machine in great condition too, and finding a working/good condition DDR cabinet in INDIANA is usually next to impossible. But boss battle games actually takes care of their games. You can tell the staff genuinely gives a sh*t about this place as they are very knowledgeable and on top of keeping the machines in working order, and even adding new games. Alot of arcades are usually tacked on to bowling alleys or laser tag places and the arcade machines get heavily abused, so finding an ACTUAL ARCADE that isnt in poor condition these days is rare. (Please keep the DDR machine, i will visit weekly if you do) I hope this arcade stays forever because frankly it’s probably the best standalone arcade in the entirety of Indiana.

Although Arcade games aren’t necessarily my shtick. Phylicia and Dustin are my kind of people. Genuinely good people that put their all into their hobby and work. They do what the love and I’m happy to see all of their success. These are the types of people we need influencing our geek/nerd/gaming communities.Check them out!

Best arcade I have visited in Indianapolis. Nice place for new and vintage arcade games. It has a fun family friendly atmosphere. The facility is clean. There is a wide range of games to choose from. I enjoyed that there were not kids running around unsupervised. I liked that no one stood behind me waiting for a game. It seemed everyone was very respectful of others while they were playing. There are enough games along with a wide variety of games for everyone.At the time I am writing this, you can choose to play for an hour for $7 or all day for $10. My family stayed and played games for about 4 hours. We took a break to go out in the mall to get a snack. We went right back to playing games, after the snack, until it was closing time.My teenage sons had a blast playing games against each other. and against my wife and I. They played many games they did not know even existed. I enjoyed playing games with them. They stated they want to come back when we can stay longer. Priceless.

No matter if youre searching to relive memories of your youth, or a young person experiencing arcades for the first time, BBG is a place you can go to dork out. Excellent selection, constant maintenance done on the machines, flat rate pricing, pinball optional. What is not to like?

Great place! Id definitely go there again.

I liked the selection if games, the games seemed well kept up with. I cant see a down side to this place.

Totally awesome!Arcade games and console games!Large variety and super cheap!Hell of a fun time for you and your buds!

Lots of games. Fun atmosphere. Well worth the money.

Good price, great games. DDR machine pads worked well which can be a hard thing to find at an arcade. Very casual and everyone in our group had lots of fun. People working there were friendly and helpful. Be sure to check this place out.

Is ok good time

Nice family fun environment!

My life will never be the same. Thank you BBG for providing Indy with the greatest arcade known to mammal. You have our eternal support. We love you.

Great atmosphere and quality gaming cabinets, fair price and great staff. easily one of the best arcades in Indy hands down. not a single cabinet i couldn’t remember from being a kid. would heavily recommended giving this place a visit if you’ve never been.

Lots of fun, reminded me of when I was a kid and wed go to the arcade all the time

Lots of games, though many were not games that I was interested in playing. It was clean and well organized. You must pay to enter, so if your friends don’t want to play they need to stay outside. We were told that I we wanted to play the pinball machines we must pay for the all you can play and then we could pay to play them.

Excellent arcade!! I like to go for classic games and DDR, and they always work perfectly. The owners are friendly and it’s just a great place to relax and have fun!

Decided to stop by on my second time walking past it, ended up having some arcade machines Id never thought Id even see! I was really hype to see a Crazy Taxi machine and they had a few imported ones like a Japanese F-Zero machine with a moving seat which was cool. Jubeat and the Street Fighter 3rd Strike cabinets were definitely the highlight for me and I had a blast for a really great price! Definitely dont pass this up

Ive been here a number of times and can genuinely say that Ive never had a bad experience. Ive never had a cabinet not work (except for some that have never been on, that is), the employees are always super nice and helpful, and the all day pass is simply a good deal. They have quite a few older arcade games, shooting games, a fair amount of fighting, as well as some racing games, two ddr-like games, and a large collection of pinball machines. If you like arcades, or if youre interested in going to one, I cannot recommend this place enough.

Lots of arcade games that are one price for all. Pinball machines are 50¢ per game. Best Japanese driving game I have ever played. Most games are street fighter type. Great value!

Every time I go to boss battle games the selection that they have from something open more casual as arcade light shooters to something a little bit more tournaments friendly Smash of a street fighter I recommend anyone who wants a good experience with an arcade and no of the hassle of going all way downtown the come to battle boss games

This place is really fun plus you get a 5 day pass which is cool(come back any time and theyll put a punch hole on a ticket they give you)

Took my 6 year old daughter to see what gaming in an arcade was like for me as a child. Best $20 ($10/each) I think Ive ever spent. Unlimited games for the whole day, and we were able to take breaks and come back as we pleased. Beating TMNT with my daughter is a priceless experience to share with her.Fantastic selection of games, and owners were extremely friendly.

We had a good time spent about 5 hours there. Played for a couple went to the food court and went back for a little while longer. Had a great time with all the games. The pin ball machine however do cost

Just heard about this place from a friend of mine, figured Id go check it out. Unless Im having a really bad day I will pretty much always enjoy relaxing and playing some video games. So I decided to stop in today. To be fair I wasnt having the best day today. Ill be honest, some pretty rough things were happening so thats the main reason I stopped in. Completely lacking expectations (my friend only made me aware of this places existence), at first I was a bit taken aback. Everything was really dark, I had to pretty much squint to see anything. For reference, I have pretty good night vision, so this was a bit shocking. Obviously I checked out as much of the arcade I could. Really good selection of games, I was surprised. Perhaps I could stop by here again. Everything seemed super clean and cohesive. Totally gonna stop here again. Everyone should know about this place.

Love going here and having a great time with my buds :)Been around about three times and have been absolutely loving it.

A lot of games with some very neat gems to buy as well to add to a collection. The cost for a day pass is incredibly affordable, and the staff are all really friendly. A new favorite place to go whether alone for an afternoon or with friends, and its nice to see a lot of style put into an arcade. Happy to see a business like this.

Stopped by with the wife while taking a moment to wander the mall. Loved the trip back to our teenage years hanging out in malls wasting quarters. Machines had an awesome selection and the staff was excellent. Will be stopping back by in the future to spend a few hours being better at old games than the kids are.

Great arcade with nice staff. Machines have many flashing lights but Ive not had a seizure yet, so thats good. Also they have Primeval Hunt which is perhaps the greatest arcade machine ever made.

Cool place in the mall. 11 year old loved it, 6 year old - not so much. Lots of games I remember from when I was a little girl.I think there could be some more games geared toward smaller kids. My 6 year old felt like she couldnt really play too many things, while it was perfect for my 11 year old and I. I saw two other smaller kids (3 and 5 maybe) that werent really able to play many things.

Exactly what I expected, great place, great price. So many amazing games. Only been once, would go back. Highly recommend checking it out.

Really really nice well kept classic arcade. Something you never see anymore. They charge by the hour and the rates are a lot less than I would blow on tokens. These guys take great care of their stuff and they are well worth a visit.

ONLY $10 FOR AN ENTIRE DAY OF PLAYING ARCADE GAMES?! Yes, please. This place has a great atmosphere and so many different games to play. I love going to spend the day here!!

Boss Battle Games is AMAZING!! The perfect party venue for kids or adults!!

Love it^^ The staff is very friendly and has a variety of arcade games to choose from, including DDR

Went a few months ago. Nice staff. Great price for unlimited play and awesome selection of retro games.

New location in the Castleton Square Mall is very nice. They have an incredible party room that has amazing murals of video game scenes and characters.Highly recommended for birthday parties.

10 out of 10 will visit here anytime I am in Indy the price to play classic arcade and console games all you want for the day is well worth it me and the girlfriend killed hours here and when we move back we plan on visiting weekly...

Simply a delight! Great pricing on games, and now PINBALL!! Clean, entertaining, and a good variety of eras and game types. There’s even some oddball ones that are always entertaining to explore outside of the classics. Absolutely worth a stop!

My little brother and I played today. It was very exciting. They had a lot of classic games for a very low rate. Their area 51 and Time Crisis 3 was awesome. It quickly wore out my hand. I only wish I had more time to play there and they had a bigger game selection. If you have a lot of time to kill on excitement, this is the place to go!

Amazing prices, tons of games, had a blast. Will definitely make another trip down to Indy just for this arcade

One of the best retro arcades in the country! They have everything!

Loving the new location! Its not too dark, aaaaaand if it does ever get too dark, thank God the arcade machines, televisions, and systems offer good lighting. The owners and staff are awesome. Ill surely be returning.

LOVE this arcade! My 7 year old loves the pinball machines and all the games are fantastic! Love the new location as well! This will always be our go to for family fun days!

Great price for all day arcade. Had fun playing Mortal Kombat with my son.

Was excited to see a real old time arcade, especially after reading the reviews and their game list. Was disappointed when we got there as the games didnt appear to be maintained. Most electronic banners were poorly lit or not working at all. The further in you went, the darker the place became. I dont expect it to be bright daylight, but it shouldnt give you a creepy feeling to hang out there. Is this normal or just the day we went?

A proper arcade. Good time at a fair price. Will definitely be going back!

Had the opportunity to attend the tournament Tempest. The hosts we absolutely welcoming and show a love for the smash community that is rarely seen. I look forward to attending future events and recommend any one interested in being part of a community to check the place out.

Boss Battle games is the speck of light in the darkness that is the dying arcade industry.You can bring your kids, but the fact it specifically advertises that it isnt a Daycare is perfect, so even though kids are there having fun, you wont have to worry about someones unattended screaming children running around messing everything up. Makes for a very good environment for responsible players and parents.

Happy to see this arcade relocate to a better area. Amazing selection of arcades, pinball and console gaming as well. Environment is pinpoint to what an arcade is and should be. Hands down...best arcade in Indy.

Went on a date here not expecting much and was honestly blown away. So many games that we didnt even know where to start and will definitely be going back soon. Fun for all ages and very inexpensive highly recommended!

I’m not from Indy but I still come here all of the time for awesome events. The owners are incredibly welcoming and invested in the growth of so many gaming communities. They also have some really great arcade cabinets that make the trip more than worth the drive every time. I would recommend this place to anyone.

Its a really fun place they have old and new games there they even hav3 mk11 all above brilliant

Incredibly fun environment to be in. There are so many games to play there as well as throwing some incredible tournaments. The staff there are friendly and inviting as well. Drove two hours to come here and didnt regret it a bit!

Great place for lots of fun. Love hanging out here. Used to go to their east side location all the time during my lunch hour. I only have two suggestions, if I may, more stools or chairs around the arcade for us no longer young adults, and maybe a couple of more fans around the arcade. I work up a sweat playin...sheddin pounds playing video games! :)

Its always so amazing here! The games are great the employees are great and the customers are friendly its a great cheap family place.

Hey Googlers, if you happen to be in the Indianapolis area and youre a fan of 80s and 90s arcade games, there is a sweet Place full of all of your favorite games from back in the day. Check out our photographs and videos for a tour of this locally owned gem..... Its super reasonably priced, and check for a Groupon because they have them pretty often. 60 + games, all from the era of big consoles including Pac-Man, karate champ, Tron, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, f355 challenge rally,, Talega, wizard of war, and centipede. But best of all, they have every Mario version, and the original Defenders games.

This place is awesome on so many levels!!!

Amazing arcade with super friendly staff.

The best experience gaming in a long time such a variety and Dustin was an amazing fight in street fighter 2 turbo !!

Amazing! Super friendly staff, very family friendly.

Love the venue, love the machines, love the owners. Plus, $10 for unlimited arcade play is a steal with the variety of machines they have.Plus, they have guitar hero.

We absolutely love coming here. we even decided to have our birthday party there because the kids had so much fun. its inexpensive and they get to see the real video games that we played as kids

APPALLING!!! BUYER BEWARE!!!Witnessed a Trump supporter get refused service because his hat was pro-Trump. The mans kid was devastated and the man offered to remove the hat and they told him that his money was no good there. DO NOT give this place your business, it may be you they discriminate against next. Why didnt they think about that little boy???

This place is an absolute blast. When I left, I knew Id be returning for more arcade fun. Screw Dave and Busters, THIS is the place to come to get your arcade fix! The pricing is great ($10 for a full-day pass), all the games Ive played worked fantastically, and there was even a Japanese F-Zero AX machine. (Hard as heck, fun as heck.) Also, I assume this place hosts tournaments a lot, because I happened to stumble across a Super Smash Bros. tournament being (I think) streamed live next to the main area, and there are even some trophies on a high shelf at the counter where people get their 1-hour and all-day passes. Speaking of which, I noticed a lot of neat retro stuff at that counter, and I cant remember if they were for sale or not. If they are, cool! Anyway, I think this place is definitely worth a visit to the Washington Square Mall (the arcade is housed there).

Took my Granddaughter Lily here last week. Spent several hours there.She loved it as well as I did. Nothing like the old games I grew up with anywhere I know off. Since I had to keep a eye on her I was taking to the staff and they showed how save it was for everyone. Cameras every where. They monitor the them all the time and I mean all the time. It was 20 bucks for both of us for all day and night unlimited play!!!

Always enjoyed the venue. I came for the console tournaments, but stayed for the arcade. The arcade has some of the best machines and is incredibly fun. Dustin and Phylicia run a great business.

Great addition to the mall, I will now go to the mall with my wife.

A few of the cabinets didnt work and the left flipper of one of the pinball machines didnt work. Other than that, it was awesome!

This place has been nothing but great for our local FGC scene. Both the arcade and game rooms are amazing, safe, & kid friendly. The owners are extremely generous and selfless people and often go out on a line just to organize events for us players to participate in. This is a great place to hang out on an afternoon with your kid and have that wave of nostalgia hit you with all the classic titles they have on their machines. Its also a great place to become immersed in the FGC community, namely Smash Bros. Highly recommend!

Unfortunately, a gas leak in the mall forced us to evacuate before we could make use of our rented time with BBG, but the game selection is really good and the staff were professional and nice. They handled the evacuation efficiently and gave us a refund since we didnt get to stay very long. I am excited to see what their new location in the Castleton Mall will be like and plan on visiting after they move.

A fantastic arcade run by a fantastic couple!

Unbelievably affordable. Good selection of classic arcade games. Cheap food. Staff leaves you be, and doesnt try to sell you a bunch of packages, and what not. Awesome!

Every time Ive went here to play games Ive never had issues, end up reading the reviews expecting something bad. But as it turns out only people who dont listen are the ones who end up leaving bad reviews.And Ive seen many of people try to sneak in without paying play and try and let their children with no home training come here and end up getting hurt.Just listen to the guys there and youll be in for an enjoyable time. Also their F-Zero Arcade game... Too hard.

This place is amazing! I took my 16, 13, 11 yr old, and myself there over the weekend and we ended up spending all afternoon there! Excellent selection of games from many genres. Helpful and friendly staff. Absolutely going back.

We had our sons bday celebration here and it was so much fun!!! Every game you can think of is here. It was our first time and we had a blast. Thank you!!!

Place is nice with good games but the owner was very rude

If you love gaming, whether arcade, board games, console or competitive, Boss Battles is the place to visit. Great environment. Nice space to play comfortably. An ever-changing assortment of cabinets. Old and new gaming consoles. A plethora of board games. They host awesome events for both the local competitive gaming communities and for those looking for a more casual atmosphere. Theyve brought in well-known figureheads for many games for meet and greets. Plus, the owners are great people. Couldnt recommend it enough for people that appreciate gaming.

You can fly or get out of the map of Madalin stunt cars 2.I was playing on freegames66

OMG I love this place full-heartedly!! This is the first arcade Ive ever gone to that 1, lets me play an unlimited amount of classic games(including titles such as TRON, Super Mario Bros.(Classic), Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Donkey Kong, and the list could go on for a VERY LONG TIME!) that are extremely fun and rewarding to play. 2, (this doesnt pertain to everyone, but) its a smooth and comfortable drive to get there and find in the Castleton Mall of Indianapolis, Indiana! All ya gotta do is go through the South Entrance of the Castleton Mall, take a left AND YOUR THERE!!I am NOT someone who works here who is trying to promote this place and I swear it on the Holy Bible, this is LEGIT!!I urge everyone who is a big fan of old arcade games(like me), or maybe just someone who wants a Blast from the Past experience, to find a way, ANY WAY, to go to Boss Battle Games: Arcade. Its no joke.P.S.- Sorry for the long review I just felt like people should know Peace and hair grease Peeps️

Love this place. Dont get to make it out here to often but I really love this place. Wish they had weekday events.

Amazing staff, great atmosphere, and an awesome selection of arcade games. I would highly recommend this place to anyone who is into gaming, retro or modern. They also have a good selection of board games if you ever want a change of pace. And the admission fee is cheap for what you get. Love this place and enjoy my time each time I come here.

Come here often and I see very diverse amount of groups here all the time. Very welcoming

Its cheap fun and I was really feeling it. To each his OWN but yeah, good stuff.

Went here for a Smash tournament a couple times and had a great time! Highly recommend.

Boss Battle Games is one of my favorite places in Indiana. The owners are amazing people and will do anything to make sure your experience with them is as pleasant as possible. I am part of the competitive Super Smash Bros community in Indiana and have worked with them to host events and sometimes I just come to practice and hang out. Its always a good time and theyre always flexible. If you are thinking about hosting a video game event, put Boss Battle Games on your list--you wont regret it.

7 dollars admission, for free rain over retro acrade systems.

Amazing arcade that runs amazing Smash Bros tournaments. An amazing selection of games that you get unlimited access to after paying a small fee at the door. They run weekly Super Smash Bros tournaments every Friday that are very well run. Would recommend for any liver of video games!

Awesome place for family time! Glad we stumbled upon this gem!

Came there on my 18th birthday had a blast great people and games I love to play would come back again
