Born and raised in Clairemont.

We live here. We shop here. We built this for our neighborhood.

Why we built this.

Clairemont is one of the largest zip codes in San Diego — and for a long time, there just wasn't much here for families to do together. The places that used to exist closed down. The entertainment options that remain are 20 or 30 minutes away in every direction. We thought that was a problem worth solving.

Clairemont Pins & Pixels is our answer. We're Amanda and Tim, and this is our neighborhood too. Our family is here. Our community is here. And we wanted a place where kids could play, parents could unwind, and everyone felt genuinely welcome — without having to drive across town to find it.

A real neighborhood arcade.

Not a chain. Not a franchise. Just neighbors who love games.

Locally Owned

Every decision gets made right here in Clairemont. No corporate playbook, no distant ownership group. Just us.

Built For All Ages

Kids chasing tickets. Parents chasing nostalgia. Grandparents who just want to watch. Everyone belongs here.

Always Something New

We rotate our game lineup regularly, so there's always a reason to come back. Follow the blog to see what just hit the floor.

A place designed to play.

Our space is sized just right for a neighborhood arcade. Enough room for a great game lineup, a full snack bar, and parties that don't feel like you've been shuffled into a back corner.

Every inch of this place was built with one thing in mind: having fun.
