Play this every time I go to an arcade, it's just a great classic. Once you get how it works, it is amazing, and touring the mansion is one of the best feelings ever. Constantly laughing playing this game, which alone makes it great. Play this with a friend and you won't regret it!

Playfield so dark. Hard to see anything.
It's a fun game. Really was cool.
But in a room with similarly ranked games it didn't keep bringing me back. Heck I played wheel of Fortune just as much as this.
The dark playfield killed it.

Really fun game for all ages...my wife, kids, friends, dad...everyone just loves to play this game. What else is there, really?
This has some really innovative stuff like the thing flip, the thing toy, and the under playfield magnets. The lighting isn't great but that's easily remedied with some light modding.
With some mods like colordmd, LEDs with LEDOCD boards, titan rubbers and freshly rebuilt flippers, this game comes alive. As a bonus - parts are easy to find and the machine seems to hold its value well.
Absolutely love the callouts, and has maybe the best multiball start in all of pinball. "Now you've done it!"
This will be a staple in my small collection for a long time to come.

Number one selling pin of all time. This game feels like a natural sequel to Whirlwind, at least in layout. Thing is a great toy. There aren't that many modes, but all of them are fun, and the scoop ramp scoop ramp flow of the game is fun. There are very few games that are just... fun the way TAF is. It has humour, challenge, and a straightforward ruleset. I am a big fan of games with the jackpot only available off of the 3rd flipper, as it adds to the challenge. The magnets throw in a great bit of randomness into play. I also love the challenge of trying to clear the mansion. Great game and I look forward to owning one some day.

This is one of those games anyone can walk over and have a great time on. For that, I rate this one of the most fun games that can be had. Always a fun time. Shots are straight forward and the thing for its day was one of the coolest features ever installed in a pinball machine

I love the show, but have owned this pin for close to 6 months and expected more and really don’t understand what’s all the hype about this pin. I think it’s a good add on to your collection but not a great one, there are a lot better pins out there. Addams Family just hasn’t grown on me but I can see why some love it, it just not my favourite pin but I plan to keep it in my collection.

only a few games in my mind come close to perfection, this is one of them. grinding away to then tour the mansion is a unique feeling you can't get with any other pin. the skill shot is also one of the most satisfying shots to hit in all of pinball. ramp, chair, ramp, chair... all... day.

One of my friends owns an Adams. Every time I go to his house I play it a ton. It always keeps me coming back. Traversing the mansion is incredibly fun and challenging. The mini modes keep the fun coming and varying things up. Most of the time though I go for GREED and get thing multiball going as much as possible. Shooting the lock shot is one of the most satisfying shots in the game, second only to the upper flipper shot across the playfield for jackpot during multiball. The electric chair and magnets, while at times frustrating, are still incredibly fun to deal with. If all of that isn't enough, the occasional "Flick Flick" of the flippers to the music instantly makes me smile every time.
Adams is very challenging, but accessible game with an incredible theme. Every time I play it, I have a smile on my face. I really enjoy this game. If I didn't have access to this game regularly, I'd strongly consider picking it up.
