Honey pinball rules and strategy
The Strategy
Honey raises a center-pocket value from 1K to 10K and uses a side slingshot to raise the center post. Drop the target in front of the pocket, repeat the pocket until it reaches 10K, and keep collecting it while the entry and post return remain controlled.
The goal
Drop the center target to open its pocket, then shoot the pocket until it reaches 10K. Repeat it while the center post provides control, and use top play whenever the entry becomes unsafe.
Plunge across the top red rollover button and into the top-center lane when the timing permits it.
Knock down the drop target that blocks the center pocket.
Shoot the center pocket. Repeat the pocket or top-center lane until the pocket value reaches 10K.
Hit a side slingshot to raise the center post when the ball reaches that area.
Release and repress a flipper very quickly to make a small, precise change to a slow ball. a settled ball beside the raised center post to prepare another center-pocket shot.
Repeat the 10K center pocket while the entry and kickout remain controlled.
If the center shot is not ready, use top play to collect A-B or the next lit numbered rollover.
Alternative route: Top play and right gate
Use this plan when the center pocket is blocked or its shot is not controlled.
- Send the ball toward the top instead of forcing the center drop target.
- Complete A and B to open the lower-right ball-save gate.
- Collect the next lit 1-2-3-4-5 rollover during upper and side play.
- Return to the center pocket after the drop target falls or a controlled shot becomes available.
