Arcade Guide - Idleon

January 23, 2025

The Arcade is a mini-game that is available in World 1 of Idleon, allowing you to win various prizes like Gems, Stat Bonuses and more.

You can unlock the Arcade by talking to the Clown Jester in Blunder Hills from Level 8. Once unlocked, you can then access the Arcade game from the Quick Ref menu at anytime.

How The Arcade Works

Arcade Overview

Upon reaching Level 8 and speaking to the Clown Jester, you'll be able to access the arcade mini-game.

Initially, you'll start with 15 Balls and will gain 1 extra ball every 1 hour and 6 minutes. You can increase the amount of balls you earn per hour by various means like unlocking Achievements.

Your balls will keep generating every 2 days until it reaches it's max capacity. If your max capacity is reached, you'll no longer gain any more balls until you claim the ones you've earned.

Once you claim Arcade Balls, you can then launch the balls into the machine by choosing a launch speed and then hitting the launch button. The balls will then descend into the game, hitting the different pins before they reach the bottom into different buckets that give various rewards.

Buckets

The rarest buckets are to the right of the game. There are 7 tiers:

  • Normal
  • Bronze
  • Silver
  • Gold
  • Purple
  • Red
  • Jackpot

Each bucket has different rewards based on a set probability. If you click the Info button, you can see all the possible rewards. The Jackpot gives a guaranteed return of 2,000 Gems, 3,000 Gold Balls and 350 grey balls.

Arcade Bucket Rewards

When your grey ball lands in a bucket, you'll be given a random award based on set probabilities.

Lava's Ballpit of Fire and Fury

Lava Ballpit

When playing the Arcade, if you manage to win a Dice from a bucket you'll have the chance to roll for a special mini-game called Lava's Ballpit of Fire and Fury.

Click on the Dice on the Arcade interface and if you roll a 6, the mini-game will be updated to the Lava's Ballpit.

Here you have 3 options to launch more balls into buckets that reward either more Arcade Balls or more Lava Balls. It keeps going until your Lava Balls run out.

Arcade Gold Ball Shop

Upgrades

When your grey balls land in a bucket and reward you with Shop, you'll obtain Gold Balls which you can spend in the Arcade Shop.

The Gold Ball Shop lists 9 different upgrades at a time and they rotate with each new Idleon Update. Any bonuses you've obtained will still be kept when the shop rotates, but you won't be able to upgrade them until they come back into rotation.

You can double the rewards amount by using Cosmic Balls when you have reached max level of an upgrade. Cosmic Balls are obtained from events.
