Review: Beyond Thrilled - I purchased the smartivity pinball machine for my 7 year old son, who desperately wanted a pinball machine for christmas. After looking at some tabletop machines, browsing through numerous reviews, and weighing the pros and cons, I decided that the likelihood of a cheap plastic machine ending up in a landfill after only a couple of months was probable, and not aligned with my less waste goals. Upon first opening his gift, my son was surprised as I'm sure he was expecting an electric game. Once we opened up the box to begin building he was very excited to see all the components, and he couldn't wait to start building. We first made sure everything that was included came in the box and decided it would be best to leave the sheets intact until we were prompted to take the pieces from them. Now let me get to the instruction manual. If there were ever an example of what a perfect instruction manual should look like, it would be this. The directions were exceedingly clear and concise consisting of written description and coordinating pictures of the front view as well as the reverse view which was very well planned out. There was honestly not one step of the way where we were confused on what to do next. we completed the build together in two sessions that were about 1 to 2 hours each, Which I feel is a perfect amount of time to inspire anticipation in my son while not causing frustration or burnout. We're getting to the best part now. This completed pinball game is so so so much fun! my son played for 2 hours straight on the first day. On the second day he played a total of 4 hours trying out all the different techniques and variations. I have never seen him so involved and interested in anything as I saw him with this pinball machine. My teenage son's friend has been over twice this week as well, and he was drawn to the pinball machine both times playing with it for a good amount of time. I especially love the balls in the vaults for keeping your score which doubles as math practice. Overall this has by far been the best online purchase to date that I have ever made, and it has been the most enjoyable thing that I have ever taken part in building. The pinball machine is solid, high quality, and obviously very entertaining as well. If you are looking for a great gift for an engineering-minded kid, I can't recommend this pinball machine enough. Buy it!
Review: Wonderful design and terrific fun to assemble. - Can't say enough good things. What a wonderful project. Huge fun to assemble. Have to give great credit to the designers. Enormously clever, goes together nicely, directions are 98% clear and helpful (way better than average), parts fit and do what they're supposed to. A 10 year-old and 7 year-old were able to do everything with supervision. Took a couple of hours to assemble, but that was the point. And they loved the completed toy when it came together. Ingenious design and legitimately entertaining game, with many features of electronic pinball, but entirely powered by rubber bands. Recommend for parent/child teams who can work delicately and sustain attention to details. Maybe OK for unsupervised kids but they'd probably be at least early teens with good fine motor skills.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Quality, Fantastic Fun!
*by M***E on January 19, 2026*

This game is amazing! All pros, no cons. The quality is fantastic. The company is quick to respond. And the game, once built, is a hit with our whole family. (We have kids aged 43, 41, 14, 11, and 8.) The pieces are sturdy and well made. They are strong enough to withstand an 8 year old removing them from the sheets they come in while being just delicate enough to teach using careful movements. The instructions are clearly depicted in photos AND clearly stated with words. Great for visual vs audio learners. We did run into one hiccup which was quickly resolved with no hassle. One of the plastic plugs didn’t fit into the hole it was made for. When I contacted the company, I sent photos of the plug in question. The company sent me a replacement of the plug AND the sheet of wooden parts that it was supposed to fit into. As it turns out, that was great because the plug ended up not being the problem, but the hole; which was too small. So I was grateful they foresaw that solution and sent it without being asked. Once the piece arrived (took about a week) we finished the build quickly. For my 8 year old, the whole machine took about 3 different sit-downs of an hour or so each. If my Lego-building teen had done it, I think it would have taken him only slightly less time. I appreciate that the build took a while and was very involved while being simple. Mostly, I love that the game is so fun. A throwback to the computer game I played as a child in the early 90s. All three of my sons enjoy playing it as much as I do.
