FAQs
Frequently asked questions
The great thing about pinball is you can play it however you want to! At the most basic level, there's a ton of satisfaction just mashing on the flippers! The newer games have complicated storylines and missions to complete - but don't let that intimidate you! As you learn how to play the game, the best advice is to aim for what's lit up or flashing. The older games are simply about hitting targets to collect points.
If you want to participate in the Stern Leaderboards, you will need a free Stern Insider Connected account - simply download the app and set up an account and scan into the game when you play. The app will also track your own progress and high scores on all Stern Insider Connected games. We are always happy to help you get set up - just ask at the front desk. Note that an account is not a requirement to play any Stern Insider Connected games but is a requirement to show up on the published Leaderboards.
Yes, you're welcome to bring outside food - we just ask that you keep the arcade tidy if bringing any food.
We also allow BYOB - however, underage drinking is prohibited, and any alcohol on premises must be consumed responsibly and inside the building only. Consuming alcohol in the parking lot is prohibited.

As much as we'd love to play arcade games 7 days a week, private rentals of our arcade can be booked during times we aren't open to the public. In addition, we spend time during the week maintaining the games to ensure a great experience for your visit!
Our arcade is small, yet ironically is the largest single collection of pinball machines available to the general public in the State of Hawaii. This isn't just another retro arcade with disinterested staff and broken games. At HI Score, we are passionate about well maintained games and providing a great experience for our guests. Come down and talk story with the owner!
We're in the process of setting up our new Karaoke space in a separate unit - the project is running behind schedule with a new estimated completion of mid January. Once complete, time slots may be booked directly though our website! We still offer Karaoke as part of private bookings - the equipment is set up in the arcade and ready to go!
Pinball or arcade games can be a great addition to many businesses, particularly hotels, bars or takeout establishments. We'd be happy to talk through installing a game at your business at no cost! Shoot us a message - konapinball@gmail.com and we can discuss specifics.
All our maintenance is done in house and we work hard to provide a quality gaming experience. Please let us know if there is anything with the games that need addressing! At this time we regret we are not offering game repair to the general public due to a backlog of projects, as much as it kills us to know of broken games!
