MagNabs can also be used to grab the ball and drop in the top lanes, where spelling T-A-P will increase the playfield multipler.

RULES AND CODE

• Five Food Stand Modes
• Three Mini Wizard Modes and an Uber Wizard Mode

TENT MODES

As you traverse Oktoberfest, you’ll visit different tents along the way, which are the modes.  In order to start a tent mode, you must spell T-E-N-T on the inlanes/outlanes which lights Enter Tent at the scoop.  Shoot the scoop to select your Tent Mode.

There will be 14 total Tent Modes.  They include:

• Target Shooting
• Rockin’ XPress
• Juggling
• Duck Hunt
• Sky Slide
• Fud Frenzy
• Tap It!
• Bumper Cars
• Ring Toss
• Rotor
• Looper
• Stein Race
• Chugging
• Flipper Meister (Wizard Mode?)

All Tent Modes have a “WIN” and then a “BONUS” until the timer runs out.  Modes can be more than once if they were not “won”.

BEER STEIN BOOSTERS

A player gets to choose one free Stein at the start of each game, then you collect Steins by bashing the bartender in the top left X number of times until the bar opens, then shoot into the bar to collect.  There are 14 Steins in total.  Each Stein has two effects: it multiplies the value of a specific tent feature/mode, and also globally boosts some other feature of the game (e.g. more valuable pops, more valuable spinners, higher multiball jackpots, more playfield X time, etc). Steins can be collected in any combination the player chooses, and all the effects stack, including having multiples of the same stein.

‍

FOOD STAND MODES

What is Oktoberfest without food!  There are FIVE Food Stand Modes, each one provides “UBER” scoring on different shots for a limited time.  Shoot the spinner and the drop target to qualify Food Stand Modes.  Collect food items to consume calories that accelerate scoring.

Consume too much and you go into a food coma, which is a mini-wizard mode!

‍

MYSTERY AWARDS

There are four separate duck targets scattered around the playfield.  Hitting them all will qualify mystery at the scoop.  Collect Mystery Award at the scoop.
