Boxtop Pinball - Haunted House (EN)

Boxtop Pinball - Haunted House is a wild dexterity game that transforms the game box itself into a fully playable haunted pinball machine. Using flicked dice, players try to score the most points possible by smashing monsters, uncovering hidden clues, and avoiding dangerous trap holes scattered throughout the mansion. Every launch becomes a hilarious moment of tension where precision, rebounds, and chaos collide.

In Boxtop Pinball - Haunted House, players launch dice from a movable launcher directly into a multi-level cardboard pinball table filled with obstacles and scoring zones. Dice can ricochet off walls, knock into other dice, hit roaming monsters, or slide perfectly into haunted scoring multipliers. The gameplay creates a fast and energetic atmosphere where a single lucky bounce can completely change the outcome of the round.

The mansion's monsters - Bob the skeleton, Frank, and Medusa - constantly move between floors whenever players hit them. Players may also collect hidden Clue tokens that grant secret bonus points at the end of the game. Haunted Realm spaces multiply your dice values if they remain inside the scoring circles, while the Summoning Circle can even grant extra dice launches for even bigger combos and crazier chain reactions.

The fully three-dimensional setup built directly from the game boxes gives the table incredible visual presence. The stacked floors, trap holes, and walls recreate the feeling of classic arcade pinball machines while keeping the rules approachable and quick to learn. It is an excellent example of a family board game that combines tactile gameplay with creative table presence.

You will probably enjoy Boxtop Pinball - Haunted House if you love fast interactive games, dexterity challenges, and chaotic family fun. It works especially well for casual gaming nights, younger players, or groups looking for a highly visual and energetic experience.

The game received a nomination for Most Innovative Game at the 2024 Board Game Quest Awards thanks to its creative use of the game box as a fully functional pinball machine.

The game was designed by Zachary Connelly and Alex Cutler, with artwork by Michael Parla. The spooky cartoon-inspired visuals give the haunted mansion a playful personality that stays accessible for both kids and adults.
