VOLUNTEERING

Volunteer shifts at the show:

The Northwest Pinball & Arcade show it entirely run by volunteers. Volunteering is a great way to participate in the event, earn a free pass, meet new people, and to join a fun community based around collecting and playing pinball and arcade games. Volunteers help with set up, admissions, the prize desk, the tournaments, show break down and more. The last day to register to volunteer online is Friday, May 29th. Log in using Google, Facebook, or Microsoft and look for available areas and shifts.

Volunteering games for the show:

Pinball & arcade collectors, we need your games!

All the games at the Northwest Pinball & Arcade Show are volunteered by local collectors and arcades, it’s vital we get local collectors to volunteer their games, you make this show happen! There are incentives for volunteering games that include passes to the show, but mostly it’s about helping put on the large regional pinball and arcade show and sharing our games and hobby with the general public. If you volunteer 5 or more games and are within our pick up zones (generally within 1.5 hours of Tacoma), we will even pick up your prepped games and deliver them back to you after the show. This works great for large collections!

Important dates to remember:

  • Last day to submit games for show transportation: Friday, May 22nd

  • Last day to submit games for the show and insure you get the incentives: Wednesday, June 3rd

  • While we can take unsubmitted games at load in, it will go faster & be less work if you’ve submitted your games ahead of time!

Incentives for self-transported games:

  • 1-4 Machines = one weekend pass per game

  • 5+ Machines = five weekend passes

  • If you want to bring a bunch of games and need help covering a truck rental, let us know!
