!! THE ARCADE !!
GAME INFO
Hair Nah is a travel game about a Black woman tired of people touching her hair. The arcade game uses motion-sensing technology to track body movements, rather than requiring the player to use traditional game controls. The player's real-world actions are reflected in the character's hand movements within the game.
Created in 2021, the Arcade was designed by Momo Pixel and developed by Trent Johnson, Tuxic, and Dustin Long.
​
The Arcade cabinet is currently located at:
One Manhattan Square Rochester, New York 14607 Sun - Wed 10 a.m.–5 p.m. | Thur.–Sat. till 8 p.m.
