About Us

We are a family of gamers who have been collecting for years. We wanted to share our collection and create a fun and interesting social gaming space that everyone could enjoy. So, we created Pixel Busters, the social gaming venue hidden behind a Video Store.


When you first enter Pixel Busters, we look like any other Video store. Our reception is like stepping back in time, it has a 'be kind rewind' aesthetic that we absolutely love. 


Hidden from view our main Play Floor is where most of our games can be found. You can test your fighting skills on street fighter or show off your moves on our dance machine. We have a range of games from Pac Man to the PS5.


Our retro room looks like a hybrid of a 80s tv studio and a 90s bedroom, complete with smash hits posters. With a bold design, it provides the perfect space to relax and enjoy our retro consoles.
