'''Pyramid Arcade''' is not itself a single game, but a boxed retail set of pyramids and other game materials sold beginning in 2016 by Looney Labs. It is a compilation of 22 games designed for the [[Icehouse piece|Looney Pyramid game system]] and includes the instructions and all necessary components to play them. Described as [[Andy Looney]]'s "Magnum Opus", Pyramid Arcade was successfully funded on Kickstarter in May of 2016 and became available to purchase from brick-and-mortar stores in November of 2016. The "Arcade" is intended to be the flagship pyramid box and has replaced the [[IceDice]] and [[Treehouse]] bags as the primary means for new players to purchase pyramids.<br>
