Follow the steps for Pinball

Make Pinball your next activity in the game library. Reach 1,500 points before three balls drain. Use the example below to understand a decision. Treat the first round as a chance to learn the controls. Choose a clear next step rather than rushing through the instructions.

Original compact two-flipper table with three bumpers.

Something to practise

Compare the worked example with your own position. Use the reasoning, not an answer copied from a different board. Make the next step deliberately.

The purpose of your moves

Reach 1,500 points before three balls drain. The feedback beside the game helps you follow the round. Check the rules when you are unsure.

The order of play

  1. Start to launch.
  2. Use the two flippers.
  3. Bumper collisions score.
  4. Launch remaining balls after a drain.

Using the playing area

Hold Left/Right flipper or arrow keys. Start / pause and New round are available. Read a button’s label before selecting it. A new-round button replaces the current round.

A useful example

Activate the flipper when the ball reaches its active surface. Apply the same reasoning to the position in your own round. Consider the next action carefully.

Watch out for this

A drained ball cannot be rescued. Read the feedback to see why an action did not have the expected result. Before your first action, say what you are trying to achieve. Then compare the result with the goal.
