In The Game (Nickelodeon Universe)

Information

Arcade located inside the Nickelodeon Universe theme park at the American Dream mall in East Rutherford, New Jersey. It is not required to buy admission to the theme park in order to gain access to the arcade; simply take the escalator down and it is immediately to your right. As of March 2024, the park has now implemented a paid admission requirement for all visitors; even non-riders or spectators must purchase a $10 "Park Entry Pass" in order to enter. (They have since walked back the "Park Entry Pass" requirement as of June 2024.)

All games at this arcade use game cards that you can purchase from a kiosk. In general, one credit is equal to approximately 25¢, but you can reduce the per-credit cost by loading larger amounts of money onto the card.

Current pricing as of June 2023:
$10 = 40 credits (25¢ per credit)
$25 = 110 credits (~23¢ per credit)
$50 = 230 credits (~22¢ per credit)
$75 = 360 credits (~21¢ per credit)
$120 = 600 credits (20¢ per credit)

You can also optionally purchase the VIP package for $200, which gives you 1,000 credits (20¢ per credit), 1,000 tickets for use at the prize counter, and access to VIP pricing on all the machines (usually a 10% discount off the regularly listed price).

This page's listing is specifically for those games that are located inside the arcade section and take game cards. For other games found throughout the park that only accept cash, credit, or tap-to-pay, please see the Nickelodeon Universe page linked above.
