American Dream

Information

The second largest indoor mall in North America, located directly across from the MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey. Under construction since 2004, this finally opened to the public 15 years later in 2019 just in time for the pandemic to shut everything down again. Somehow, they are still going strong and feature approximately 200 retail stores, dining establishments, and a variety of unique experiences including DreamWorks Waterpark, the largest indoor waterpark in the United States, Nickelodeon Universe, an theme park featuring record-breaking roller coasters, an ice rink, an 300 foot tall observation wheel with views of the New York City skyline, multiple miniature golf courses, a year-round indoor skiing and snowboarding slope, and more.

This ZIv listing is specifically for those games and machines that are located out on the mall's floor and are not attached to any specific store or retail property. Several other locations throughout the mall include games of one sort or another;

1st floor -
Blast 7D (dedicated XD Dark Ride simulator)
In The Game (arcade located inside of Nickelodeon Universe, utilizes game cards)
Nickelodeon Universe (indoor theme park, several games on the floor that take cash, credit, and tap-to-pay)
P!Q (retail store with one cab and a claw machine, both out of order for over a year)
Snatched (cranes and gacha vending machines) - closed as of October 2025 and has been replaced by "Wish a Fish", a goldfish pet shop.

2nd floor -
The Gameroom Powered by Hasbro (arcade primarily focused on licensed Hasbro properties, redemption games, and claw machines - also the home to the mall's only rhythm game)
OdysseyVR (currently under construction, VR simulators)
Yoyoso (retail store with one cab and an air hockey table)

As this mall is located in Bergen County, retail shopping is restricted on Sundays. The mall is still open for experiences like the theme park and waterpark, but most retail shopping locations are closed. Well, officially they're supposed to be, anyway -- but as of October 2025 many retail locations are now open on Sundays as well.
