Tilt Pearlridge

Had a GREAT TIME tonight! We spent the evening @ tilt for the baby's 3rd bday. We were able to make a lot of tickets tonight. He had a blast too! They ALL did, including dad & I. This is always a great way to 1) spend some money on the birthday child! Because everyone gets to get in on the play time. 2) Bonding moment for everyone. Especially the siblings. & 3) As fun as they have playing games, it's always better when you can take home prizes too. So, any ticket games you played, you will have at the end to cash in for ANY prize for the bday child & the rest of the family!

I live in town, so I don't come to Pearlridge often. However, when I do I stop by Tilt from time to time. I love to play games. This place is kind of small, but they have great games. As with all game places, it can get kind of pricey. I love giving arcades all my coins, lol.My favorite games are the coins push ones. They have about three of them here. Some of the other games that I like to play are Super Spin and Skee Ball. They even have the Water Game like at the carnivals.

Small arcade tucked away in Uptown Pearlridge at the back of the food court. You can access the arcade from the parking lot coming in through a door on the side also. There's not much and is more geared toward younger kids but it passes the time and the prizes are not bad either. Tons of old school games, coin games, racing and giant claw games with huge prizes. My favorite games are down the clown and skeeze ball. It's was pretty empty when we went to visit and were just walking through but I shot some photos to post for Yelp. They have a token machine to exchange your dollars near the prize counter and restrooms are in the food court leaving Tilt.

I mean, it's not bad. Not great, but not bad. Has about 20 or so games, but the most popular ones can be pretty expensive (couple dollars for one quick round). Kids will surely love it but it can be a money pit for sure.

My daughter and hubby are gamers lol! They love to go places like this where they have games. They truly enjoyed playing games here playing the crane machines. Cost money to play but if you have a card, you can load it with money by swiping it through the machine kiosk. The inside was fairly small which you can only fit so many people inside. There was only one guy working the counter. Kind of a negative when there's a line of people behind you. I didn't want to stay too long as it was getting crowded inside. A definite plus when you have kids. Bring them here! A place for fun with the family.

I've been taking my daughter here since she was a baby and now just 7 years later we're still going. They do make improvements along the way by adding new games and prizes. Our favorite is air hockey and now it's even bigger. 4 players can play together now. Seems it got more expensive, but what hasn't.The staff is usually very helpful and friendly. They must be so patient because going thru that whole redemption process is crazy. Today the man working there just smiled and waited and did his job. We'll be back!

This NEW TILT in (lower) Pearl Ridge located across Jeans warehouse, next to Expressions. I think there was A Sanrio there before. The upgraded Arcade games are awesome, though a bit pricey but WORTH IT. Just seeing how my 3 year old grandson enjoy himself and dance to the music of the animated interaction games like Mario's haunted Mansion makes it worth every penny. The tickets earned from those games can be used towards prizes. They still need to improve that part, but they have these little Fidgets (60 tickets) that are perfect for little fingers and my Grandson loves it, he's always playing with it. So well Worth it...

TILT---MRC=3%Does anyone still remember what TILT was? Them pinball machines right? When you rock the pinball machine hard enough to cheat the ball into rolling a certain way? At least thats the way I remember, ironically, theres no pinball machines here or any game where the exploiting concept is simulated, however, there are other things that ARE being tilted lol. The whole convert real money into fake money is nothing like the old arcades and the fun doesn't last as long as back in the day either. Instead its easy to blow through your digital currency when you actually think about how much each game or "attempt" to win at some of these games is. Set a limit and be done with it or burn a hole in your wallet in a few minutes, your choice!So there's 2 locations of TILT at Pearlridge Shopping center one is in Phase 1/Uptown/Mauka, first floor just between the Applebees and Food Court. The other is located 2nd floor of Phase 2/Downtown/Wai Makai. For simplicity and sanitys sake (I dont even know why they keep changing the name of the places!) I'll just refer to both as location 1 and 2 and list what I observed!Location 1:Smaller, feels like a cramped damp basement!Darker, not as lit in back area (Teens smooching in dark corners)More Arcade Type Video GamesOdd SmellsMore Ride type gamesClose to Exits, ParkingRight next to Restroom and Food CourtPrize exchange mediocre (Nephews own words not mine! "sucky these prizes")Winning Ratio, not rigged and not too bad, see pic. Location 2:Bigger and TallerBrighter, more LitBigger MachinesSkee Ball and BasketballMore Co op and multiplayer games (there was a VR game that was drawing a crowd of kids squealing in excitement)Moderate walking from Exit and ParkingRestrooms somewhat closeBetter Prize RedemptionsWinning Ratio, Losing more than winningI miss the old Tilts and Arcades, but this is still better than nothing. I dont see this as a month thing, or everytime were in the mall kinda thing, maybe more seasonal or special occasion. Although we went to both, It kinda feels like half the fun is missing or something when you are at one, and if theres anything being tilted besides the cost to fun ratio, its my head trying to figure out why this place is split in two!

I haven't been to this arcade since they first took over the old Foot Locker location. This time I took my 1 year old daughter and it was fantastic!! I'm so sad I didn't get the prize attendant's name (working on Sunday, October 16 @ 11am) but boy was she awesome! She was so patient with my daughter and I and even let my child hold the balls with tickets until she blew up new ones that we picked out. Small things like that make me so happy. I will be back here again!

Rude employee made us leave the store.When people play Pump It Up, there are sometimes people waiting to take turns. That's normal for a popular game. If we're waiting for our turn, we'll either stand on the side, sit, or play something else temporarily and come back. Well, some of us decided to play air hockey while we waited, and your employee made fun of my friend when his puck fell on the ground. Then she came over to us who were sitting and waiting for our turn and told us "if you're not playing, I'm going to have to ask you to leave."Wow. Okay. So we left. And I don't want to come back as long as that employee works there. If your first reaction to a place being crowded is to just tell people to leave, then I hope you enjoy your store being empty.There are plenty of better ways to communicate that you'd like us to sit somewhere else or even just try harder to stand, but if you're going to belittle us while we play other games or tell us we're not welcome, then the conversation is over. At least Jungle Fun bought more benches for their customers when they felt like there were too many of us. Sheesh. We'll never bother you again.
