THE ARCADE is a quarterly shopping event within the virtual world Second Life. The shopping experience puts an inventive spin on Japan’s gacha craze, where shoppers play through random lineups, hoping to win collectibles of varying rarity.
HOW TO PLAY
HUD GIVER
1
GRAB A HUD
Grab a Shopping HUD at the front entrance (You’ll need to accept The Arcade’s Experience.) HUDs are required for machine play. If you try to pay a machine without wearing a HUD, you’ll be reimbursed with no prize delivered.
2
PAIR
Pair to any machine by clicking the “PAIR HUD” button on its associated Pairing Station. Once paired with a machine, the HUD reveals a random lineup of numbers. These numbers match up with prizes on the machine’s key art, showing what’s available to purchase and in what order.
