Arcade

The  is where many citizens of Gravity Falls visit to play video games.

History
Soos is a long-standing frequent customer of the arcade, and even claims to have learned everything he knows from there, like how to cross the street, eat ghosts, and dance.

The arcade is first shown on Blendin Blandin's Camouflage suit in "The Time Traveler's Pig" when he is confronted by Dipper and Mabel Pines.

In "Fight Fighters," Soos, Dipper, Mabel, Grunkle Stan, and Wendy Corduroy go to the arcade. Soos shows Mabel and Stan various games and explains his past there. They then pass Old Man McGucket, who is playing an out-of-order game, Ho-Down Hero, and Stan plays the rip-off game Insert Coin. Next, Dipper and Wendy are shown playing Fight Fighters as Rumble McSkirmish and Dr. Karate, respectively. Robbie, who is in the midst of putting up posters for his band, catches sight of them, and comes over, pushing Dipper out of the way.

Later, after Robbie challenges Dipper to a fight, the latter goes to the arcade with Soos in order to hide from his challenger. As he plays Fight Fighters, he uncovers a code to bring the characters of the game to life, enters it and unleashes Rumble McSkirmish. Meanwhile, Soos crawls into and gets stuck in the game Nort, though he does manage to somehow escape later on.
