What do you get when you combine DDR tournaments with free arcade games, snacks and drinks? One of the best events ever! Once again the Arcade and ArcadeCon are challenging you to a DDR fight to death where only one dancer can win – do you have what it takes to beat last years champion Nikki Smith? On top of all that the amazing people over at Century City will be switching some other games to free play and there will be drinks and food (while stocks last).
Before that however there will be a Scavenger Hunt taking place! For more details about the hunt click here: ArcadeConMania
