Licensing Program
Premiered at GDC 2026Quantum games that are actually quantum, the physics runs live as you play. Quantum Arcade is an invite-only license for the Quantum Native lineup, ready to run on a cabinet, a kiosk, or a laptop.

The Software
Quantum Arcade is a suite of games built on Quantum Forge, the engine behind everything we make. The mechanics are driven by genuine quantum state evolution, superposition, entanglement, and interference. It is the same lineup that ran on the arcade cabinets at GDC 2026, licensed to run on your hardware, from a full cabinet down to a laptop.
The Lineup
Three titles, each tuned for the arcade floor.
Falling blocks, rebuilt on real quantum state. Pieces live in superposition until you collapse the line.
Paddle play with a quantum twist. The ball is a wavefunction, and interference is part of the game.
An arcade shooter played on the Bloch sphere. Rotate qubits, line up the shot, watch the state evolve.
For Operators
A dedicated build of the Quantum Native lineup with special versions of the games, tuned for an arcade floor rather than a browser tab.
Improvements and new builds land in the portal as they ship. Your install stays current.
A direct line to the team that builds the games. Questions about setup, updates, and licensing go straight to us.
Who It's For
Anywhere people gather and get curious, the lineup earns a crowd. These are the rooms it was made for.
Hands-on quantum mechanics for the exhibit floor. Visitors play the physics instead of reading about it.
The real thing for physics and CS programs, from intro courses to outreach days.
A draw that starts conversations. It held a crowd at GDC.
If you have a space and the curiosity, we want to hear from you.
The Setup
Licensees run a dedicated arcade build of the lineup, with versions of the games tuned for the floor rather than the browser. The games are light, so modest hardware runs them well.
The arcade build runs on a modern laptop or desktop. All three games support touch.
A touchscreen machine running the arcade build is a complete install. Good for lobbies and exhibit corners.
Quantris and ponQ ship Xbox controller support, and those bindings map cleanly onto standard arcade sticks and buttons. Building a cabinet? We can share a reference spec on request.
You bring the screen and the connection; we bring the games.
Provenance
Quantum Arcade grew out of a decade of quantum game research. The lineup debuted on the quantum arcade at the Laguna College of Art and Design booth at GDC 2026, developed with support from Caltech's Institute for Quantum Information and Matter.
The science partner Apply
Tell us about your venue and how you want to run the lineup. We reply within a few days, no obligation.
The Program
Quantum Arcade is invite-only, and we are taking on our first partners deliberately, because every install carries our name. Access is limited while the program is young. If you want the lineup running where you are, tell us about your space and we will walk you through the license.
Licensing is an annual per-venue software fee, sized to your setup, with an education program for schools, universities, and museums.
After you apply, we reply within a few days to learn about your venue and walk you through setup and licensing. No obligation.
