About Us
Since the original Skee-Ball® alleys first hit the Jersey Boardwalk in 1908, we've been lighting up more than just the scoreboard. Over the last 115 years, Skee-Ball has become a timeless tradition – igniting the kid in everyone, inspiring friendly competition, and creating memories that span across generations.
Today, we aspire to continue that tradition by bringing those experiences into home arcades, rec rooms, and entertainment centers all around the world. The extraordinary workforce located in Pulaski, Wisconsin – a small town outside of Green Bay, builds each unit from raw materials with the same quality, craftsmanship, and attention to detail that has rendered Skee-Ball an “arcade classic.” Our promise is straightforward: simple fun for a lifetime of shared memories.
This is Skeeter. He loves to play on Skee-Ball® alleys. As a young boy, Skeeter would walk down the boardwalk with his mom and pop, and he would light up every time he saw that bank of Skee-Ball alleys. Whenever they would walk by, Skeeter would give an insistent tug at his mom’s arm and say, “Come on, mom. Let’s give it a roll!” And so Skeeter rolled. He rolled a lot. He rolled before school, he rolled after school, and sometimes, he even rolled during school (that’s not recommended, kids).
In fact, Skeeter rolled so much that one day he found himself stuck in his usual Skee-Ball stance. Although he tried and tried to break out of his Skee-Ball stance, (and boy, did he have a great stance), he couldn’t manage to wiggle himself free. So there Skeeter stood, in his Skee-Ball stance, day after day. He ate breakfast in his Skee-Ball stance, he rode the bus to school in his Skee-Ball stance, he did his homework and walked the dog, all while standing in his perfect Skee-Ball stance. When his mom finally took him to the doctor to break Skeeter out of his stance, the doctor replied, “I can’t do that! This stance is too good to fix!”
So there Skeeter stayed, stuck in his Skee-Ball stance, day after day. Rumor has it, Skeeter still stands in his Skee-Ball stance today, still rolling that perfect wooden ball up the launchpad, still aiming for the high score. Skeeter stays in his stance for you, for me, and for all the Skee-Ball lovers worldwide. He stays in his stance to remind us that good times are ahead, even if we biff and miss all the pockets, time after time. Skeeter encourages us to keep on rolling, no matter how hard you struggle, because with enough practice and perseverance, eventually you’re going to hit what you’re aiming toward.
