Overall

Step into the jungle and join us on Thursday, October 9th at Ye Olde Pinball Shoppe for the official King Kong Pinball Launch Party.
We’ll be running a Best Game tournament across 8 selected Stern Insider machines. Play as many times as you like - only your highest score on each machine counts. Virtual queues will be managed through Matchplay, so there’s no need to arrive right at 1:00 PM. Just be sure your scores are in by 8:30 PM.
The top qualifiers will then face off head-to-head in the finals. There will be plenty of prizes up for grabs throughout the event.
Entry is $15 and the games require tokens, but we’ve got a special launch party deal: The King Kong Bundle – Receive 10 free tokens upon paying the entry fee.
Come celebrate with us, play the brand-new King Kong pinball machine, and test your skills against Wellington’s finest.
