The time is nearing, as once again the glorious, demoralising, demonic endurance hell they call 'Death By Pinball' returns for its fourth year over the Easter weekend for a 24 hour pinball marathon!
Kicking off from 9am on Bad Saturday the 11th of April, the tortured ticket holders will enter a closed door event in the Netherworld.
This year, it will be split into four competitions and stages of death:
I - Pallor Mortis - Tiered Swiss Matchplay - Four player groups will play 6 rounds of pinball, with each round consisting of 3 different 4-player games.
II - Algor Mortis - A 4 hour Flip Frenzy. A maniacal head to head battle where you are constantly pitted against different opponents on different machines.
III - Rigor Mortis - Tiered Swiss Matchplay - Four player groups will play 13 rounds of pinball, with each round consisting of 1 x 4-player game.
IV - Livor Mortis - A 3+ hour Flip Frenzy until the clock hits 9am.
In between rounds, you’ll be free to play Netherworld’s many machines, compete in a side comp or have a quick rest on the ‘stage pit of shame’.
Special rewards will be given to those that actually survive the night. Each survivor will get a special Death By Pinball patch.
Tickets are $80 each and come with entry, a limited edition pin, 3 meals, a midnight snack and 2 drinks. BYO snacks. Cash prizes for the top places! Grab them via deathbypinball2020.eventbrite.com.au.
Shirts will be available via pre-order for $30 until the cut off date of March 23rd, featuring the amazing art of Murdoch Stafford.
