Disinfection Measures

• Decades requires everyone to wear masks at all times while inside. Masks prevent most droplets from spraying when properly worn over the nose & mouth. Our 3 dedicated Arcade Guardians watch with security cameras & walk-throughs to ensure gamers are wearing masks and if patrons are not doing so repeatedly they are refunded and politely asked to leave.
• Decades requires gamers to physically distance at least 6ft from other gamers not in their party.
• Decades limits total attendance in the arcade to no more than 30 at a time. Less people there means less droplets made.
• Decades requires all people visiting to certify they have not had potential COVID symptoms over the last 10 days before entering.

Extremely small particles containing the virus can be exhaled with normal breathing & talking. In stagnant air, such as homes or workplaces with closed windows & doors, the amount of the virus in the air can steadily rise as multiple people simply breathe in the space. These small particles can travel the entire length of a room in a few hours. Closed HVAC systems, without substantial fresh air, can possibly aid in circulating and spreading these particles that contain the virus. This is the reason being outside is safer than being inside.

• Decades has installed 45 fans to bring air from the outside thru the back of the arcade and sends in in the arcade and then out the front door. This ensures that we have a complete air exchange roughly every 10 minutes. All fans blow in one direction from back to front of the arcade so air cycles in & out constantly.

Viral particles can potentially remain airborne for hours, possibly infecting people in enclosed spaces. In addition to airing out the arcade with high velocity air flow to prevent this, we also filter the air to remove virus-sized particles.

• Decades has 18 HEPA-13, hospital grade air purifiers running in all rooms to help clean the air, effective for removing viral particles.

Sunlight kills the virus. We can’t bring the sun inside, but we can use ultraviolet light present in sunlight to do the same thing.  Ultraviolet light will rapidly and effectively kill the virus.

• Decades uses UVC light in each room (over 50 bulbs) (which kills virus particles in the air & on surfaces) every night after operation.
• Every two hours Decades has everyone empty out so we can zap the arcade with UVC light for 15 minutes.

While touch is not thought to be a major source of transmission for COVID, nevertheless we want to keep you safe from all the things that can be left on a button someone else has touched.

• Decades has applied SD-90, an industrial-strength virucide to all games, so if the virus lands on treated surface, it will die.
• Decades continually sprays 70% alcohol on all games. If there WAS any virus there, it’s killed in less than a minute.
• Decades places hand sanitizer in every room.
• Decades requires hand sanitizer when entering the arcade.
