Electric Chair Arcade Game
Here are amusement arcades and entertainment venues across the UK that have a shocker-style electric chair arcade game. These machines challenge players to endure a mild electric buzz, adding a fun and nerve-jangling twist to the arcade experience. Check our listings below to find one!
An electric chair arcade game, also known as a "shocker," is a type of arcade game where a player holds two metal rod grips while a simulated electrocution takes place. The goal is for the player to hold onto the grips for as long as possible, enduring the increasing intensity of the machine's effects. In reality, a very mild electric current is passed through the handles, which also vibrate (along with the chair), creating the sensation of being electrocuted. This thrilling experience provides an adrenaline rush and is perfect for enjoying with friends who can take photos. The most popular versions of the game feature a large, solid wood chair resembling those used in actual execution chambers. However, there are also stand-up versions that incorporate a light-up trail and feature Uncle Fester from The Addams Family or a "Raging Ape" variant.
Electric chair arcade games may be less common today, but they remain popular due to their unique appeal. These machines offer a fun and thrilling experience, allowing parents to playfully "shock" their kids or young adults to impress their dates. With quirky machine designs like the big wooden chair or Uncle Fester (with a lightbulb in his mouth), they continue to draw attention, offering a fun experience that still captures the interest of visitors to arcades up and down the country.
Electric chair arcade games remain popular and can be found across the UK at a variety of entertainment venues. The well-known Uncle Fester machines are typically positioned along busy pedestrian areas (much like boxing punch machines) to attract families and passers-by. Notable arcades featuring electric chair machines include Skegness Pier arcade, Circus Circus arcade in Great Yarmouth, and Coral Island arcade in Blackpool.
