Rowood Wooden Puzzles 3D Pinball Machine Mechanical Model Wooden 3D Puzzles for Adults DIY Pinball Game Wooden Puzzle-Model Building Kits Christmas Birthday Gifts for Adult and 14+ Teens

The media could not be loaded. I got this pinball machine kit for Christmas this past year. I have built both metal and wooden kits before and this one was really appealing to be. Not only was it a nice challenging build, but in the end I have a very functional and fun tabletop pinball machine to play and enjoy!Some reviews say this is hard to build or that instructions are not clear. I found it to be as clear and detailed as required to guide you with mostly pictorial instructions to a very successful completion. The key here is to take your time and be patient at each step. Sand everything and anything that has a rough edge or is part of a moving component. Double check your work as you assemble the electronic components. Use the Wax and coat any part that the instructions tell you to coat.I built this over the course of 2-3 weeks, working in the evenings and taking pictures as I progressed. I may post a few photos in addition to the video of a full round of game play I am posting today. Some people are saying that the trick shots on the ramps and slides are impossible to make. Not true. Just like any full sized pinball machine, it's all in the timing, where the ball is coming from and how much force you exert on the paddle flipper buttons.The ball flippers are a completely mechanical linkage system and very clever in how it was designed. They work so well! You can do things with these manual flippers that you cannot do with electrically fired flippers. You can play with the steel ball and even block the ball from falling into the return chute.There is plenty of lighting affects during game play. The ball launch count is shown by the LED's on the launch ramp, counting down as you play each ball. Ramp "trick" shots earn you 50 or 100 points, depending on the ramp. The three ball bumpers at the upper part of the playing field are truly amazing to see and hear. They use the conductive steel ball as a "contact" to complete a sensing circuit and fire a solenoid under each bumper to eject the ball away from each bumper. The results is just like a full sized pinball machine. The points earned for each ball "bump" starts at 10 points, then grows higher in to point increments after each set of 10 "bumps". So it's 10 points, then 20 points and eventually 30 points per "bump" as play continues. The instructions tell you how all of this works.In the attached video, I had played 2 full games prior to the one shown. I believe I managed to hit every trick shot on all three ramps and run the ball completely around the back hidden pathway behind the bumpers in this game. You will notice the Red LED stars lighting up and animating as points are registered during game play. The increments are 100 points per star, so this is not a very fine granular point keeping system, but it adds to the fun of game play just the same.I would highly recommend this kit to anyone that will take the time to build it carefully and deliberately. Don't get rushed, read the pictorial instructions over again when things don't quite look right. There are plenty of spare parts, screws and wooden components provided with the kit. You should not find yourself lacking anything to complete this build.Enjoy! I sure did.

The media could not be loaded. I can think of any thing negative or neutral to say about this puzzle. It’s amazing. It was so fun to put together. Clear instructions and videos are available. Assembly was so much fun and alll the pieces come with spares in case you break one detaching it from the cards or on install. I mean the detailing is just so good. The electrical components installed easily too. When finished just plus it in. There is a cord provided but not so long to run it to a wall outlet. I use a portable charger to play it. My wife and I use this every night as it lives on our coffee table. We have put hours on this thing and it is very tough. I will have to sturdy some of the press fit connections with hot glue eventually because we use it so much. The action bumpers and ramps work great. The rubber bumpers keep the ball active and moving. The flippers are mechanical not electrical, and the action is very smooth and powerful. I hope the compny makes another one!! I will be buying more from them soon!!! Great fun project!

I just finished building the ROKR 3D Pinball machine. It was by far the most challenging and well done wood kit I have built.Excellent instructions- perfect parts cut sheets, lots of spare pieces (for the small easy to lose and delicate easy to break. It has great electronic and mechanical and aesthetic design, lighting, music. It just has everything.It took a long time to build but was challenging and fun all the way. Virtually perfect instructions- seriously LEGO quality.And the play action is good. Active bumpers bells, sounds lights and ramps. I am not a pinball wizard so it will take some time to get some high scores.

This 3-D puzzle is a lot of fun to put together. The table top pinball is fun for all my family and looks great! Assembly required patients but comes with everything you need. The directions are simple and direct, which I appreciate. I definitely recommend this product to model enthusiast.

Quality. This thing is so amazing to build. The specifications are so tight. Just wow. Amazing. Instructions are solid and easy to follow. This is a long build. But it's a fun build. And the skill level is such that everyone in the family can participate. It's really worth the money, imo. So fun. Like a next level puzzle build with LEGO level satisfaction. See for yourself. Had to flatten the main table from a bit of bowing. If not for that, it's solid 5star. Just flatten that out when you first get it by moistening the constant side and weighing it down for a few days while you build the other stuff. Not a deal breaker, as it is all straight and level now. Such a good product.

Roowood makes great puzzles! I gave this to my 45-year old son-in-law! He enjoyed putting it together and I think it works!

Great product. Takes a lot to put together all the little tiny parts. But my son is loving it!
