The Mission Behind the Fun

What many visitors discover after their first visit is that Game On State is part of something much bigger.

The arcade operates under ANEWAY For Purpose, a nonprofit organization founded by Aimee and Eric Rubin that creates meaningful employment opportunities for neurodiverse adults and individuals with disabilities.

Every game played, every party booked, and every bag of candy purchased helps support opportunities for individuals to develop workplace skills, build confidence, and contribute their talents in meaningful ways.

It's a mission that transforms everyday fun into lasting impact.

Creating Opportunities Through Community

At Game On State, inclusion isn't a slogan—it's part of daily life.

The team believes everyone deserves the opportunity to contribute, succeed, and feel valued. By supporting Game On State, visitors help create a workplace where neurodiverse adults can thrive while doing meaningful work that benefits the entire community.

That commitment to inclusion is one reason ANEWAY For Purpose was recognized as a 2026 Main Line Parent LOVE Award Winner for Inclusivity Champions.

Come Play With Purpose

Families may come for the arcade games and candy, but they often leave with something even more valuable: the knowledge that their visit made a difference.

At Game On State, fun and purpose go hand in hand.

Every visit supports a mission dedicated to creating opportunities, celebrating abilities, and building a more inclusive community—one game at a time.
