HOW TO PLAY

How to play Random Pinball Picker

  1. 01

    Enter participant names

    Separate names with commas or new lines, then add them. You can also enter options or numbers instead of people’s names.

  2. 02

    Check the participant count

    Register 2–100 participants. Choose a count to create numbered marbles, or use Lotto to create 45 marbles numbered 1–45.

  3. 03

    Choose a pinball map

    Pick Jump Arena or Remix Arena. Remix Arena adds extra springs and reverse-spinning blades for a different race.

  4. 04

    Choose winning ranks

    Select a number of winners from the first or last finishers, or choose a specific rank. Adjust counts and ranks with the arrows or type a number.

  5. 05

    Start the race

    Press Start race to release the marbles. Start, end, pause, speed, and music controls also work in fullscreen.

  6. 06

    Watch the finish order

    Follow the bouncing marbles into the narrow finish entrance. A completed race is ranked by actual finish-line crossings.

  7. 07

    Review results and draw again

    Check everyone’s rank and the highlighted winners. Restart with the same participants, or remove the winners before another draw.

FEATURES

What makes this pinball picker different

Up to 100 players, one marble each

Use names or numbers for a small draw or a full ranking of many options. Play directly in a desktop or mobile browser without installing an app.

Two maps with real marble physics

Marbles collide with each other and with obstacles in Jump Arena and Remix Arena. Springs, propellers, and black holes change their paths. Each race has a 60% chance of giving one marble a single boost.

Full rankings from first to last

Pick more than just first place: choose several last finishers or a specific rank. Everyone’s finishing position is available on the game screen afterward.

A broadcast that follows the leader

Watch a leader-focused camera, slow motion near the finish, and booster close-ups. Play any of the five music tracks at random or keep one track selected.

Each black hole sends one marble back to the start, then disappears. Completed races are ranked by actual finish-line crossings. If marbles get stuck, use End with current ranks: finished positions stay fixed, and the remaining marbles are ranked by their position when you end the race. Those entries show Position fixed instead of an invented finish time.

IDEAS

Ways to use the pinball picker

Choose who buys the coffee

Add your friends’ names and select the last finisher. Everyone can cheer for their marble while waiting for the result.

Pick a helper or a forfeit recipient

Add people who have agreed to take part, and decide the winning count and ranks before starting. Check the full ranking together afterward.

Set a presentation order

Enter the presenters’ names and use the finish order as the speaking order. You can use the whole ranking instead of picking one winner.

Run a stream event or choose an option

Turn event entrants or a list of options into marbles and watch the broadcast together. Set the number of winners before the draw.

PINBALL & ROULETTE

How is a pinball picker different from a wheel?

A wheel shows the result when its rotation stops. A pinball picker lets you watch each participant’s marble move and collide, then shows the full finish order rather than only first place. It is a draw format for people who enjoy cheering through the action.

FAQ

Will restarting change the result?

Starting positions and collision patterns can change in a new race. The same ranking can still occur; a different winner is not guaranteed.
