Boxtop Pinball: Haunted House converts its own box into a three-dimensional pinball course. On each turn, a player flicks one die from the launch pad and hopes it ricochets through monsters, clue tokens, haunted realms, and scoring spaces without disappearing through a trap door. Dice that remain on the machine score their shown values plus bonuses, while landing in the summoning circle adds another die. After three fast rounds, the player who combined control, daring shots, and fortunate rebounds into the most points wins.
