Frolic’s Arcade is an audio-visual overload. A fleet of 15 pinball machines rumbles and shimmers, tricked out with lights and other additions. The back wall is a mirror, creating the illusion that the game cabinets stretch infinitely. Overhead, a ribbon of multi-colour lights lines the rim of the ceiling like a slice of Rainbow Road, the Technicolor finale from Mario Kart. And, at the entrance, there’s an orange neon sign in a Tron-like typeface. The space might just be the last true arcade in Toronto. It’s also a secret.
