Our current meager social media presence is on Mastodon.

We can be regularly found in the Pinball People Discord. It's a fun and friendly way to chat with other pinballers!

What else... also got a Mastodon bot that posts random locations: @OddPinballMap

We even had a podcast for a bit! Mappin' Around with Scott & Ryan. It has not been active in a few years, but that is fine. We might reboot it.

API

Not only is the Pinball Map website and app open source, but there is also an API! With it, you can pull down map data and use it on your cool app.

Stern Pinball uses our data for their machine locator. Our API is also used by Matchplay Events and Pindigo and Scorbit and Kineticist and many others!

If you use the data, please provide attribution!

Regional Maps

If the big map isn’t cutting it for you, you can search for machines in one select area. Please pick a "regional" map below. Regions are predefined geographical areas - they can be a city, county, state, or even a country - that an administrator and the local users created (a long time ago!). Each regional map is curated by a local administrator, often with the support of a league.
