Haze's Toys & Arcade - San Rafael, California

One of the few places in CA that has Maimai, rhythm game cabs in better conditions than the ones in round one, and the staffs are friendly. A must-go if you are living in North Cal and is a rhythm game junkie like me.

The owner is great, the array of snacks and drinks they sell is MASSIVE, the merch they offer are awesome & adorable, and the game variety is fantastic~

The vibe is fun and I'm hooked, 10/5, highly recommend!

Both claw machines are completely rigged. I understand most claw machines have slippery claws that make it hard but stil possible but I’m talking about the fact that after picking up a prize, the claw FULLY OPENS so that it is 100% impossible to get prizes. When we went to the staff they said that there’s nothing they can do because it’s the software of the game that makes the claw open, not the hardware. So they know that it is completely impossible to get prizes from both, but they keep them on the floor anyway. The solution would be to get rid of them and replace them with claw machines that don’t open before the claw is above the prize pay out slot. We didn’t realize the claw was opening before we had played both machines five times. The staff gave us 2 tokens back even though we spent 20 tokens total :))))

Very nice and small arcade! With a selection of 2 Chunithm machines, 2 Mai Mai Murasaki machines, the old DDR, Dance Rush, Street Fighter, 2 Mario Kart machines, a hockey table, a basketball hoop game, the punching test machine, and a WACCA cabinet.

As a huge CHUNITHM fan, I've been looking for a cabinet that is online so I can save data on my Nime card. All of their games are online so I can finally start my process on my international version! One play on the Chunithm machine is $1.50. A very good price for 3 songs. They clean and keep their machines well kept. The Mario kart wheel wasn't as loose and difficult to use in the character selection compared to other arcades and the Chunithm machine's slider was smooth AF.

There's also a shop of collectibles and toys in the back for any kids. There's a lot of cute charms I saw and if you're into POP figurines, there's several there.

I'll definitely come back here for my Chunithm itch. 🙂

As someone who plays a lot of rhythm games, I always had to go to the closest Round 1 which is about an hour away by car for me as a local of Marin county.

They have a working Maimai machine which no Round 1 has in the Bay Area
Chunithm machines are connected to the internet. Dance Rush and SDVX is available as well.
No issues with connecting my Aime and Konami cards to the arcade machines.
Machines so far feel like they're well maintained and the place is overall quite nice.

Went there multiple times for rhythm game arcades. Although the kids are noisy and scream from time to time, the staffs are super nice.

It’s an arcade with a cool story about why it started. Other than that, all I can say is… Just go! Support your local arcade. Wherever you are.

This little gem is located in the middle of a dead mall. Staff is great. The games are fun and the toys are really nice too! If only the rest of the mall was that nice.
