Well the date is decided. I am hosting a pinball party for my 10 year old son Jaret and his buddies. No girls allowed of course haha. I'll post some pics after we have it. Hopefully we get a good turn out. If all goes well maybe I'll host one for our friends!
I have a spreadsheet made already. I think I'm going to let them play 5 games on each machine. The highest score for each machine will win a prize. 5 bucks in quarters or something. Then I'll add all their best scores together on each machine to figure out who the grand champ is Might buy a little cheap trophy or something. Hope all the pins hold up haha.
I've hosted my son's birthday party the last three years at home (9, 10, 11th birthday) and the games are always a hit. I have a crane so I make it so the kids win tickets for doing something on each pinball (ie sink ship on POTC or knock down the castle on MM) and then tickets earn turns on the crane for prizes. This year - MM and RFM were the big hits.
The best part was all the parents at pickup wanting to stay and try the machines and their kids having to show them how to play!
