Jump on your broom and get ready to play an exciting game of Flipper Quidditch™, the new model of the Harry Potter™ collection from Ugears.

A little bit of history

This pinball game works is based on the fictional wizarding game of Quidditch™ from the beloved Harry Potter book and movie series, in which players fly around an aerial arena while trying to throw or touch the red ball through three rings on the opponent's side and earn 10 points with each success. A team that catches the Golden Snitch earns 150 points and wins the game.

The DIY Pinball Quidditch model from Ugears is a visually stunning stadium that includes a cardboard playground printed with decorative elements, 8 raised viewing platforms engraved with the logos of the four Hogwarts™ houses (Gryffindor™, Hufflepuff™, Ravenclaw™ and Slytherin™), a functional points board, a chest to store the Golden Snitch™ and three red marbles as well as functional pinball elements including blades, buffers, targets and obstacles.

How Ugears Quidditch™ Pinball works.
Prepare your Quidditch™ pinball game first by making sure that the model is properly assembled and that all moving parts are working properly. Place the model on a flat surface, then take the yellow ball from the chest and place it in its reserved slot on the left rail. Insert the three red marbles into the hole on the front left of the model. Lift the three targets in the center of the play space by pressing the two stamps and the launch pad immediately behind the targets. Turn the knob on the back of the points board to reset it and you're ready to play!

To play, tap the "New Game" sign on the front of the artwork to send the three red balls to the trigger.
Press the lever on the front right to put the first red ball into position, then pull the side trigger before releasing it firmly and throwing the ball into the playing space. Place your hands on the paddle buttons on the left and right, and keep pressing to keep the ball in the game for as long as possible. Knock down all three targets to establish a path to the rings, defended by a Secret Keeper (Ron Weasley) and two Drummers (the Weasley twins, Fred and George).

Each time a red ball passes through a ring on the far side of the playing space, you score ten points (press the button at the top right of the points table to keep a point count), and then the red ball returns to start again in the game. Defend your three rings by preventing the red balls from passing between your blades, or they will go out of play. Once the three red balls have fallen through your own rings, the game is over.

The most interesting challenge in the game, and the best way to win, is to catch the yellow ball. This is possible by sending a red ball onto the rails, throwing it down the angled center ramp (the ramp lifts into position once the center target is hit). If a red ball lands on the right rail, it returns to the game while a red ball that lands on the left rail will descend until releasing the young ball into Harry Potter's open arms. Congratulations, you've won! Press the button at the top left of the points table to raise the 150-point banner and declare your victory!
