What is The Levels End?
The Levels End will be in Norwich UK, where you can come in and play games till your heart’s content on one of many arcade machines or consoles that will be available for people to play.
There will be an entry fee at the door. After you have paid, you are free to came and go as you please all day until closing time. All the machines will be on free to play. So after entry you will never spend a penny on the machines.
I have been discussing this idea with my friends for over 2 years, We have gone through all of our ideas and suggestions and come up with our current plan to give you guys this great service. The cobwebs have been blown out of all the cartridges and we are ready to start. There is a great team supporting this idea from electronics Gurus to customer service experts who will always put our customers first.
The team are all huge fans of gaming and have been since we could first get our little fingers and thumbs around a joy pad. For us, this is will be a dream come true and the best job we could possibly hope to have. For Norwich and the local area, this will be a fun and entertaining place where you can play games and make friends, FOR FREE!
We all love the City of Norwich.
We have all been raised here or have lived here for so long it’s in our blood. The community is first class and we would love to help give them some enjoyment. Starting The Levels End would be the best thing that could happen for us as we would be sharing our love of games with the community old and young. People from all walks of life have communities in Norwich, and gaming can bring them together.
Where Is Your Money Going?
Your money will help us with getting the location in Norwich into a better state for opening, with all the necessities that are needed for running a family and community friendly venue.
There is a good amount of money already invested in this project but we just need a little extra help from you guys. Games, tables, chairs, fridges and our first delivery of stock.
As an example, a classic Pacman Arcade machine costs £1200. Now add a few more like Space Invaders and Galaga and your looking at £5000 just with those 3. Some of the slightly less older ones, like Verses City Sega fighting cabinets are a little cheaper.
However these are very rare in the UK and once you add shipping, your looking at doubling the price, also you have to get the JAMMA boards (these are the games) for the cabinets. This is why we are asking for £60,000.
This will be a good amount to get some more machines for people to have fun with. Your money will also go towards restoring some machines as well. Nothing stays good looking for long, but we plan to restore some of the older machines that need some TLC. So future generations can enjoy them as much as we have.
Your help can make this come true. It will be a place where family can come and relax, friends can come and have fun, enjoy games and share memories.

Why Does This Matter?
Norwich is a growing city. New businesses and families are helping the city to expand into a bigger and better place and we want to be part of it, while also giving something back to the community. There are arcades in Norwich, but they are all chance games and 2p machines. There are very few actual arcade games that have that fun factor. We want to bring that back!
![photo tledreangostaffcards.png]()
We have been actively seeking out retro games for you to come in and play and have fun with. Remember the old 4 player side scrolling fighting games like The Simpsons or Ninja Turtles? As well as, Pacman, Operation wolf, and many more that I could name. Memories gathering dust in warehouses or elsewhere. Lets play! Lets clean off all the dust and bring them back! And what's more? We will let you play all these classics for FREE!
Having a Snack bar is something we have always had in the plan. People can come in on their own and have a coffee while playing Mortal Kombat during their lunch hour, or a place where whole families can come in have fun and a fantastic night out.
Supporting Businesses
All these companies are helping and supporting us in our endeavour to bring you The Levels End.
They are all helping spread the word of what we plan to do. They are all just as excited about this as we are, and are looking forwards to coming to play the games themselves.

What Are Our Challenges?
The biggest challenge we have to face is getting all the logistics in place, looking at possible locations for The Levels End, and working out what we would need to do for venue. There are a lot of phone calls that will need to be made, and some number crunching to be done.
We know everyone has different tastes in games; we want to have a place where everyone can come and have fun. So we will be talking to the gaming community around Norwich finding out what kind of games they like to play and try to bring that
into The Levels End.
There will always be unforeseen events when starting a new business. We can only do our best to prepare and tough it out through the hard times that we may face.
I Don't Have Much Money, How Can I Help?
Don’t worry, you can help us in many other ways. You can help spread the word on social networks, by telling your friends and families about us. The more people know the better. It will help us spread out and get known. We can achieve this goal. Every penny counts and every contribution will help. We will put every penny to good use and bring you everything we have promised and more,
We really appreciate any help that you can give to help make this a reality. So from all of The Levels End team:
