    Pinball Olympics

    February 22nd

    Mark your calendars for a Sunday of whacky pinball Olympics (ok, maybe more like pinball obstacle course)! We have 6 arenas to play. Your best 5 games will count towards qualifying! You are allowed to play 12 times in whatever combination of the 6 games you’d like. You can try twice on all 6 games or you can do 12 on the same game (though we don’t recommend it).

    All the games will have some sort of shenanigans. In some cases you won’t be able to see the score, in other cases you might have to use an exercise stepper as you play. Who can do the best with the obstacles set forth?

    Registration starts at 11:30AM and we flip off at 12:00PM.

    $5 for entry + token drop. Free entry for new players. Chance to win some trophies. $1 of the fee goes to PRPA.

    Open to women, non-binary, and other gender non-conforming pals. All skill levels welcome. Children welcome with an adult. Bring a friend or two for a fun, casual afternoon.
