Benny's Arcade Emporium is an arcade in Ninjago City. When Prime Empire resurfaced, the arcade became more popular than it originally was. However, during Ninjago City's Videogame Prohibition,[1] all the arcade's video games were confiscated until after the events of the attack by Unagami. Not long after, the video games were returned, before the arcade got submerged during the Great Flood, rendering them useless. Within a year, all games were working again, only to be rendered useless again by the Overlord.
