Oops, a little late with this announcement. 🙃

We’re opening early today for the holiday!

Doors open at 12PM! 🕹️👾

Got the day off? Kids home from school? Come waste a few hours with us. We’ve got games, snacks, drinks, and plenty of ways to avoid being productive.

See you weirdos at noon! 💜

Tell me I’m not alone here.

Sitting in the dark at 2am at my Nana’s house, playing WoW, ripping up slices of American cheese and microwaving them over a pile of tortilla chips.

Poor people 90s nachos. 😂

And somehow??? They absolutely slapped. Not going to lie, they still do.

Anyway, introducing our ✨ARCADE NACHOS✨

Nothing fancy. In fact, they’re basic af. Just a big ol’ pile of chips and melty cheesy goodness.

🔴Melty queso & taco cheese
🔴Your choice of our housemade sweet potato & bean chili OR Maryn’s spicy chicken
🔴Sour cream & salsa on the side

Are these the nachos of your childhood, just with slightly more effort and significantly less microwaved American cheese? Yes.

Are we pretending they’re anything fancier than a giant pile of cheesy chips? Absolutely not.

Come get some. 🕹️

WE HAVE A NEW WEBSITE! 👾🕹️

First off, a big thank you to everyone who reached out to let us know our website still had our old address, phone number, and a bunch of other outdated stuff. 😅

We were going to just hop on and make a few quick updates…

But apparently Casi doesn’t know how to do anything halfway, ADHD brain, turned it into an entire two day obsession, & she went redid the whole damn thing. 😂

New look, new info, updated menus, events, party details, and all the other Rift nonsense in one place.

Go poke around, click some buttons, and let us know what you think! And if we broke something along the way, maybe tell us nicely. Seriously, we built this thing ourselves.

Same weirdos. Same nerdiness. New website. 💜

We’re getting a little darker at Rift this Halloween. 🖤🦇

We’re teaming up with BLASPHEMY for a night of goth, darkwave, EBM, and all the weirdness we can fit into one arcade.

Saturday, October 24th at 8 PM!

🖤 NO COVER!
👻 18+ only
🎃 Costume contest with prizes
🍹 Food & drink specials
🕹️ Games, shenanigans, and probably a little chaos

BLASPHEMY will be taking over the music for the night, so come hang out, dress up, play some games, and get weird with us.

Costumes encouraged, weirdos always welcome. 🖤

Okay you guys absolutely wrecked us last night 😂🖤

We sold through what would normally be about a WEEK worth of inventory… in one night.

Seriously, thank you.

Thank you for showing up, for being patient with the lines and waits, and for being nice to us while we were running around refilling tickets, fixing jams, restocking, making food and generally just trying to keep up 😂

We had SO much fun and are so freaking happy to be back.

Today we’re definitely playing catch up a little bit. We’re restocking, prepping, and trying to get everything back on the menu as fast as we can, so please be patient with us if we’re out of a few things or moving a little slower than normal.

Last night was insane in the best way.

We missed this. We missed you guys. 🖤👾

OKAYYYY TOMORROW 👾

We are officially having our Grand Reopening Party tomorrow, Friday October 2nd and we cannot believe we’re finally here.

5–8pm is family time: pixel art, face painting, cupcakes, games, prizes and all the tiny human chaos.

Then 8pm–12am: 18+, birthday cheers, Pinball Blitz, the Skee-Ball 350 challenge (because somebody involved with this place is apparently turning 35 tomorrow and turned it into everyone else’s problem) +
prizes and probably some wildly unnecessary competition.

ANDDDD now that we are actually open again… we have hours. Like real, consistent hours. Who are we??

🎟️ Sunday: Double Ticket Sunday
🏆 Monday: League nights / rotating arcade nonsense
🏃 Tuesday: Rift Run every other week with A Running Passion + LEGO nights
🚫 Wednesday: Closed
🎮 Thursday: SMASH AFTER CLASS — Super Smash Battles + UNE students get 10% off with student ID
🔞 Friday + Saturday: 18+ Adult hours start at 8pm

NEW OPERATING HOURS:
Sunday 12–6
Monday 4–9
Tuesday 4–9
Wednesday CLOSED
Thursday 4–9
Friday 4–12
Saturday 12–12

We’ve got skee-ball leagues, trivia, music, Lego building, pinball nights, tournaments and other weird little things coming too, but first…

COME PARTY WITH US TOMORROW. 🖤

We’ve missed this. We’ve missed you.
Rift is back, bb. 👾

10/01/2026

SEE YOU ALL TOMORROW 👾✨
We can’t wait!

IT’S FINALLY HAPPENING 🎮🖤

Rift’s Grand Reopening is Friday, October 2nd from 5pm–midnight!

We have been waiting SO LONG to say that.

5–8pm is family time!
We’ll have Pixel art, Face painting, Cupcakes + snacks, prizes + kid-friendly fun.

Then 8pm–midnight is adults only!
With new drinks, new food, games, music and a little extra chaos.

So bring the kids early, come back without them later 😂
Play some games, have a drink and celebrate with us!

We’ll also have:

THE 350 CHALLENGE
Casi is turning 35, so land an EXACT 350 on skee-ball and win a prize.

PINBALL BLITZ
Play all 5 pinball machines: highest cumulative score wins.

& because the reopening happens to fall on Casi’s birthday, we’ll sneak a little birthday celebration in there too. 🎂

Mostly, we just want a packed arcade full of the people who have supported Rift, cheered us on, helped us move, build, paint, troubleshoot, watched Casi cry, spread the word, and kept showing up for this weird little place.

Come see the new Rift. Bring the family. Play some games. Have some food. Grab a drink.

We seriously cannot wait to have everyone back.

Friday, October 2nd • 5pm–midnight
📍 5 Washington Street, Biddeford

RIFT IS BACK BB 🫶🏼👾

WHAT A WEEKEND. 🖤

We seriously cannot thank you guys enough for showing up for our little surprise opening. It felt so damn good to have the Rift full again. Games going, drinks pouring, kids running around, weirdos everywhere which is exactly how it should be. 🥹

We’re CLOSED for the rest of this week while we finish up a few things and get ready for the real party.

✨ WE’LL SEE YOU FRIDAY AT 5PM FOR OUR GRAND REOPENING! ✨

We’ve got some fun stuff planned, some birthday chaos, and a whole lot to celebrate.

Thank you for making this weekend such a good one. We missed you guys. 🖤🎮

See you Friday.

Yesterday was INSANE in the absolute best way 😭🖤

We made one little surprise “hey btw we’re open” post and somehow ended up PACKED for hours. Like genuinely did not expect that at all, and it was so freaking good seeing so many of you back in the Rift again.

Thank you for showing up for us. Seriously. We missed this.

Today we’ve got a giant birthday party taking over a chunk of the arcade from 2–4 🎂 BUT we are still open to the public from 12–6!

Come play some games, eat some weird little foods, win some prizes, say hi, hang out. We’ll be here 🛸✨
