Junior Space Cadet Pinball Tournament

Space City Pinball League is proud to host the Junior Space Cadet Pinball Tournament at the Houston Arcade Expo dedicated to kids 12-years and younger!

This tournament will take place in the Space City Pinball booth on Saturday, November 15, 2025. Participants may purchase entries for $1 in the booth where qualifying games may be played from 10am – 4pm. Each entry allows the player to play one 3-ball-game attempting to put up their best score. A final round will take place at 4pm for the top 4 qualifiers. It will be one 4-player-game on the qualifying machine.  Each of these finalists will receive a trophy. 

The tournament is unlimited entry, with only the best score counting. While players may purchase multiple entries, only one entry may be played at a time if there is a line. Players must move to the back of the line to play again. 

Kids participating in the Junior Space Cadet Tournament will each earn a Junior Space Cadet button.

No experience in playing pinball is necessary, our team of friendly volunteers will be on-hand to help out. We also encourage parents and guardians to stay with their children to support and encourage them during the competition.

Tournament entries are additional to Houston Arcade Expo pass and can only be purchased on Saturday  in the Space City Pinball booth.
