Pinball: what to know before playing
Start Pinball by looking at the playing area and its controls. Reach 1,500 points before three balls drain. Look at what changes after your first action. Treat the first round as a chance to learn the controls. Keep the game area visible while you use its controls.

Give this approach a try
Locate the buttons and input area before beginning a long round. Use the on-screen labels to avoid an accidental restart. Make the next step deliberately.
What you need to achieve
Reach 1,500 points before three balls drain. An attractive position is not enough unless the goal is met. Notice how the game responds to your input.
Work through the instructions
- Start to launch.
- Use the two flippers.
- Bumper collisions score.
- Launch remaining balls after a drain.
How your actions work
Hold Left/Right flipper or arrow keys. Start / pause and New round are available. Use the control method described here for this activity. Make sure you are interacting with the game rather than the surrounding page.
A useful example
Activate the flipper when the ball reaches its active surface. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Choose a deliberate next step.
Notice this detail
A drained ball cannot be rescued. Compare the situation with the worked example. Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round.
