#PLAYUNPLUGGED

#PLAYUNPULGGED is the motto of our community. We believe that board games provides a great platform for kids and adults to play together without the constant needs of checking their cellphones.

As we grow older and bitter, we often lose our ability to make firends. Our community treats everyone as equals and accepts them with open hands. Stranger today means friends tomorrow!.

“Some people may call you a customer, but to us you are a big part of our family.”

Galih Aristo, Founder

Our History

2005 – Dimulai sebagai komunitas game lokal.

2014 – Melahirkan “Arcanum Hobbies” sebagai komunitas & toko online.

2015 – Berpartisipasi dalam berbagai acara (POPCON, Indonesia Comic Con).

2016 – Membuka toko dan tempat  bermain boardgame di Mall Kuningan City. 

2017 –  “Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon ’em.” Dan Archie the Great Owlbear pun lahir! Nama “Archie” diambil dari Archimedes, burung hantu piaraan Merlin. Berasal dari unsur Yunani archos (“master”) dan medomai (“berpikir, merencanakan”). 

Lalu terus bertumbuh sebagai keluarga besar Arcanum Hobbies.

 

Vision & Mission

Arcanum Hobbies memiliki misi menyebarkan konsep #PlayUnplugged kepada masyarakat luas dan memajukan industri board game di Indonesia. Kami percaya bahwa unsur duduk bersama dan interaksi langsung antar pemain dalam boardgames adalah unsur penting yang semakin hilang di era informasi seperti sekarang ini.

Arcanum membuka peluang kolaborasi terhadap semua pihak yang tertarik untuk membeli boardgames, menambahkan aspek boardgames dalam cafe / restoran yang dimiliki, maupun mengadakan workshop dan event lain yang terkait boardgames.
