Recent work

Haunted Sesh, Brooklyn.

The Mycelia Group booked Budcade for The Haunted Sesh in October 2026, a night for over a hundred cannabis founders and execs. We brought Mario Kart on an N64 and a tube TV, a mini Zoltar fortune teller and a play counter of mini arcades and prize toys. The client said we “nailed the vibe.”

Make it yours

What you can customize.

Every activation is built around your brand. Tell us what you want on the free call and we'll put it together.

Your theme

Holiday, brand launch, retro, spooky. We set the games up to match. At Haunted Sesh: a mini Zoltar next to a tube TV.

Which games

Retro consoles on tube TVs, an N64 with almost every game, an Atari with preloaded games, digital pinball tables, all-in-one arcades and modern consoles.

Prize games with your product

Claw, gacha and fishing games stocked with your brand's product, or with our prizes.

Tournaments and leaderboards

Turn any game into a bracket or a high-score chase, with a prize for the winner. Tournament mode is $35.

Decor

Table covers, lights, lava lamps and props to fit the room and your colors.

Gift bags

Small prizes, stickers and merch, with your inserts. $15 a bag.

Sampling, done right

Want guests to try your product?

Consumables can't just be handed out. Our nonprofit project, Budcade Collective, can run on-site sampling as a private 21+ event, with safe-consumption practices and every serving logged. It's arranged separately from your Budcade tier and never paid through Budcade's checkout.

Budcade LLC is a for-profit company. Budcade Collective is a fiscally sponsored project of Do Good Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit (EIN 85-4368754). Contributions are payable to Do Good Foundation, earmarked Budcade Collective.
