The first Tilt game room was in the Six Flags Mall in 1972. It was founded by Craig Singer. At its peak, the chain had roughly 200 locations from Hawaii to New York, and two in New South Wales, Australia (Manly Fun Pier at Manly Wharf, and Westfield Miranda in Sydney). The original Tilt arcades remain in decline; while there were still 30 Tilt locations in 2016,[1] at the end of 2019, just "over 15" remained open. As of February, 2021, only 5 Tilt locations remain.[2] NDI also operates Tilt Studio family entertainment complexes, which include more arcade games plus food service and major attractions.[2]
