Escape pinball rules and strategy

The Strategy

In Escape, pass the upper lanes and orange rollovers until every ESCAPE letter has been lit twice to light Escape Special. Complete every drop target to raise Bonus X through 5x. For Turbo Special, shoot the Turbo hole while 50,000 is lit, or use BOOST BALL when ADV TURBO SPINNER is lit before returning to the hole.

The goal

Build the steady value first by completing the drop targets for Bonus X. Add E-S-C-A-P-E progress whenever the upper lanes are available, then use the Turbo hole only when its 50,000 or Special setup is ready.

  1. Complete every drop target to raise the end-of-ball bonus multiplier from 2x through 5x.

  2. Pass the upper lanes and orange rollovers to light E-S-C-A-P-E; light the full word twice to turn on Escape Special.

  3. Watch the Turbo-hole value and shoot the hole when 50,000 is lit to turn on Turbo Special.

  4. As an alternate Turbo route, hit BOOST BALL while ADV TURBO SPINNER is lit, then return to the Turbo hole.
