From a hospital care-bag drive to a North American movement.
We started with care bags for cancer patients in 2021. Today we bring adaptive gaming to pop-ups, hospitals, Pride events and a year-round hub.

Why the name changed
We began as Warriors and Survivors eSports Gaming Lounge (WSEGL), named for the cancer warriors and survivors we first served.
Our community grew to include disabled gamers, neurodivergent players, 2SLGBTQIA+ youth and their families. “Inclusion Arcade” says what we are now: an arcade where every player belongs. Older links and merch that say WSEGL are still ours.
100% adaptive access
Every station can be set up for every body.
Any player, any game
Cozy co-op, racers or shooters: if you want to play it, we'll set it up so you can.
Transparent governance
A public ledger since day one.
