I’m in the club!…. Sorta. I am babysitting one but have intention to own in the semi-near future.

I’m a huge fan of the show which definitely helps as this pin has its share of warts. I love Chloe and feel her deadpan callouts are actually quite fitting and I find them enjoyable and nostalgic. I recently made it to the “Dammit” mode which was very entertaining. The game is very multiball heavy but I enjoy the depth of the various multiball rules. I love the drops. The toys are chincey yet amusing. I upgraded all the dead flashers to LEDs which really livens up the experience. Like many, I wish the rules were more fleshed out and that there was more fanfare coded into the wizard modes but I mostly just consider myself fortunate that this game was made in the first place.

One question: Did anyone ever figure out if it is possible to re-light Escape? It seems to only be lit at the start of the game and once collected is never relit.

Also, someone get to work on the colorDMD!

“Dammit!”

Shoulda checked.

Anyway, sweet!

Apologies if this is common knowledge but my small addition to the rule documentation is that the spinner seems to only function as a scoring device. It seems to have no function in rules progression.

It starts at 1000 per spin and builds the value to as high as 50K per spin. At that value I was able to generate around 1.5 million with a strong shot to the spinner, though that might be an unlikely achievement in the real world, particularly as it seems to reset with each ball.

I think a simple application would be to have the spinner re-light Escape at say, 100 spins or so. If Escape is already lit perhaps it could increase the value (2x, 3x, etc). It would make some logical sense as the spinner animates Jack running.

With the low production/popularity of this title there are not a lot of mod’s available?
Mostly just the basics.

ColorDMD
Shaker motor
Mirror blades

I’ve seen the acrylic topper but I’m not a fan of those.

Anything worthwhile that I’m missing?

I would say it’s underused. It is mostly noticeable during suitcase multiball locks and starts. I think the shaker code was very “roughed in” like the 2 Wizard modes and it was not worth it to the programmers to go back and add polish and choreography.
