Mission Arcade is a guerrilla party that incorporates live performance, gaming, game aesthetic, sing-alongs, dancing, and art installations into a single evening. Since 2007, Mission Arcade has existed in several forms in several places including the Louis Vuitton Hawaii International Film Festival, Ersatz Film, Chez Poulet and the San Diego Asian Film Festival. Mission Arcade also sprouted spontaneously on a few streets in San Francisco, including Castro Street to celebrate the overturning of the Defense of Marriage Act in 2013.

In 2016, the Center for Asian American Media and the Asian Art Museum of San Francisco collaborated to bring Mission Arcade to be a component of TAKEOVER, A Celebration of the Movies and Music of H.P. Mendoza. The San Francisco Asian Art Museum has since made Mendoza's site specific video game, Super Museum Hunt, a permanent asset and can be played now at the museum!

The most recent Mission Arcade (“Saturn”) occurred on March 16, 2019 while a follow-up performance, Nomad, was held at The Roxie on April 24, 2019 as a fundraiser for The Roxie Theater.
