About OCD Maps
Maps of places, made by travellers.
OCD Maps is for people who keep lists of places: the restaurants worth the trip, the shops that still make things by hand, the sights you mean to get to. Put them on a map, sort them your way, walk them as a route, and share the map or keep it to yourself.

Arcades & Pinball Halls Around the World
A worldwide census of 1,611 operating arcade and pinball halls across 80 countries and territories, including independent collections, classic game rooms and substantial playable arcades inside entertainment centres. Each entry records a real Google Maps listing and a source documenting its game floor. The initial census was checked on 1 October 2026; additions and unresolved candidates were checked again on 3 October 2026. This is an evolving census: 73 researched candidates remain unlisted because their exact identity, game floor or operating status could not be verified. Genuine omissions in Google listings and differences in visitor floor information are stated explicitly. Check current hours and admission before travelling.
