Full Tilt Summer Recap - and a Peek at Fun things to do in LaPorte this Fall!

Summer 2025 has been nothing short of incredible here at Full Tilt Arcade & Pinball. From May through August, we packed our calendar with unique events, wild promotions, and plenty of reasons for the community to come out and celebrate with us.

May: "Star"ting Off Strong

We launched the summer in true galactic style with our “May the 4th Be With You” event, and it was out of this world. Record crowds filled the arcade as fans of Star Wars and gaming came together for one unforgettable day. Later that month, mom's played free for Mother's Day, and the Ticket Tornado hit the floor, giving players a chance to grab a whirlwind of tickets in our inflatable machine. People snagged 10's of thousands of tickets!

June: Nostalgia & Celebrations

June was all about mixing things up. We rolled out Back-to-the-80s Pricing, letting everyone relive the golden days of arcade play. We also celebrated Owner Ryan Hart’s birthday, hosted custom Bingo Night, and made Father’s Day extra special by letting dads play free.

July: Big Moments & Big Prizes (Even MORE things to do in LaPorte)

July was one for the books. We celebrated owner Ben’s birthday (and released a bunch of videos of him losing TERRIBLY to Ryan), hosted a CPR/AED training class at the arcade (Shout out to Play For Jake!), and gave players the chance to win a jaw-dropping 100,000 tickets by choosing random briefcases! We also leaned into pop culture with Shark Week festivities, Ugly Truck Day, Rubik’s Cube Day, and even joined in on Burger Week.

August: Building & Giving Back

August kept the momentum rolling. Brick by Brick Week had players building LEGO sets in the arcade, while the Riley’s Children’s Hospital Galaga Tournament, organized by Mark Schultz, brought gamers together for a great cause.

What’s Next: September at Full Tilt

We’re not slowing down anytime soon. Heading into fall, we’re still open seven days a week, and September is stacked with excitement:

• Ticket Tornado (All September): Every visit earns you another chance to hop in the Tornado and snag tickets.

• Yarrrr Day (September 19): Our pirate-themed celebration with themed giveaways all weekend!

• Full Tilt Fest (September 27): A thank-you bash for everyone who has supported us over the past couple of years, featuring giveaways, games, and all-around good times.
