Huh. I didn’t know this was a thing.

THE DARKMOON ARCADE

Seek out mechagnome Lynnish Hardmode, the Arcade Proprietor behind the Darkmoon Rollercoaster to take on your favorite Azerothian arcade games, including:

• HexSweeper: A most dangerous game wherein one must traverse an arcane mine field and identify all the booby-trapped areas. Instant death rewards the slightest misstep.
• Rune Matching: The rules are simple! Match 3 or more runes for points. More than 3 and you get bonus points. If you manage to get 100,000 points, you might unlock an additional level of difficulty.
• Bull-E: Uncross the wires to fix poor Bull-E’s circuits. There is only one difficulty level: Pretty easy to insane-o hard. Give up and you have to start from the beginning.
• Barrels o’ Fun: Keep your eye on the barrel. One barrel will flash at the start of each round. Remember which one it is, and pick it when they’re all done moving around.
• Remembery: Flip the shells Remember where they are, and match the pairs.
• Totemic Matrix: To develop harmony with the elements, one must study and understand the interactions between them. The totemic matrix is an ancient training method, a puzzle that will challenge one’s mind and spirit. The object of the exercise is to transform all the totems to water totems. Simply touch a totem to invoke it. Know that all things are connected, a lesson invaluable in this puzzle…as in life.

It will cost 1 Darkmoon Game Token to unlock the console for the day, but you’ll be able to play as long as you like. Your reward? The warm fuzzy feeling of achieving victory in the pursuit of mind over machine.

Do we have a Galaga or Donkey Kong Arcade machine in the faire?

no skee ball?

Let’s have a couple beers. Then play a round. Loser buys the next round.

[Ramsay-eldrethalas (Ramsay)]

Any news on the new dungeon that was being made for Darkmoon? Or too early for info?

[Kneeshooter-amanthul (Kneeshooter)]

The HexSweeper is a killer. Literally. Not many arcade games that lay you out. Ouch

[Igotmadclout-area-52]

How about some Puyo Puyo?

[Taethelan-malganis]

No. But I’m hopeful. Or like a 10man raid. Haunted House let’s go!

[Grimthar-illidan (Grimthar)]

What’s the best dark moon faire rewards to use in open world? Things like the cannon to launch you.

[Sentenzà-illidan]

A Darkmoon Faire dungeon? That sounds like fun.

Does Blizzard do fun anymore?

I’m kidding, Blizzard typically kills it with dungeons. That said, they added 1 new dungeon this entire expansion so…

I worked hard on the dance dance game. I just wish it had like a Trial of Style mode where we choose who danced the best, dressed, and just a social hang out

[Laeuko-draenor]

I only wish for dailies to increase ticket rewards, getting one ticket per a quest is not very motivational to do daily activities.

Who thought that was a good idea? I know you don’t get any equipment damage or res sickness or anything, but hell if I’m going to run back from halfway across the island every time I make a mistake.

Is the DDR achievement bug fixed yet, where doing a harder difficulty rewarded no progress for the easier ones?

[Ianthus-farstriders]

Has anyone seen the Sparklepony XL for sale? Can’t say I’ve seen it available from that vendor…
