Galloping Ghost is the largest arcade in the world, with over 885 games. It spans multiple buildings in the Chicago suburb of Brookfield. Owner Doc Mack opened the arcade in 2010 with 130 arcade games that were saved from the brink of destruction, restoring them for all to enjoy. Continuing to expand each year, by 2024, they have grown into the largest arcade in the world, with games coming in from all over the world. The concept for the arcade grew from the lack of functioning arcades in the Chicago area. While many were still open, most did not take care of their machines and did not provide an environment to celebrate the role that arcades have had in setting the foundation for present day gaming. Galloping Ghost Arcade's goal is to provide arcade gaming at a level not seen in before, in a cost effective format. They host regular professional events and pride themselves in introducing their visitors to rare and vintage arcade games from around the world.
