Indiana Jones: The Pinball Adventure rules and strategy

Indiana Jones: The Pinball Adventure uses E-N-T to open the idol for three regular Multiball locks. During Multiball, shoot the sinkhole or left ramp to light the current Jackpot, collect it at the right ramp, and complete the Ark, Stones, and Grail set before hitting the captive ball for Super Jackpot.

The goal

Complete E-N-T to open the idol and lock three balls. During Multiball, shoot the sinkhole or left ramp to light each regular Jackpot, collect it at the right ramp, and finish the set at the captive-ball Super Jackpot.

  1. Test the mode saucer, both ramps, and the E-N-T reject while ball save is active.

  2. Complete E-N-T, then shoot the opened sinkhole to lock a ball. Repeat until the third lock starts Multiball.

  3. During Multiball, shoot the sinkhole or left ramp to light the current jackpot, then collect it at the right ramp.

  4. Only with another ball controlled, park one or two balls in the idol for a 2x or 3x regular-jackpot collect; this is not a playfield multiplier.

  5. Collect the Ark, Stones, and Grail jackpots, then hit the captive ball for the Super Jackpot.

    • : Light at the sinkhole or left ramp, collect at the right ramp, and finish the three-jackpot set at the captive ball.

  6. After multiball, use the mode saucer or a ready Quick Multiball instead of immediately rebuilding through a dangerous E-N-T bank.

Alternative route: Quick Multiball treasures

Use this when the E-N-T bank or lock sinkhole rejects dangerously.

  1. Hit the captive-ball target until Quick Multiball starts.
  2. Repeat the captive ball to collect persistent treasures while two balls protect the shot.
  3. Return to the safest lit mode or Path of Adventure after the timer ends.
