Nine vintage boards, from a Victorian parlour to the 1950s space race. Pull the plunger, ring the bells, beat the Daily. No ads, no in-app purchases.
Pull back the plunger, let go, and watch your marble race round the arch, rattle through the nails and drop into the 250. Or not.
Bagatelle Ultra brings back the parlour game that came before pinball. Every board is simulated marble by marble and nail by nail, so every shot plays out the way it would on the real thing. A gentle shot curls off the arch early. A full-power shot races all the way round. And like a real spring, no two launches are quite the same.
NINE BOARDS, 150 YEARS OF HISTORY
• Homemade: green paint, red holes and a 250 that everyone remembers hitting exactly once
• Victorian Corinthian (c. 1880): mahogany, baize, brass bells and the dreaded ×2
• Belle Époque (c. 1905): teal enamel, gilt scrollwork and ringing brass mushrooms
• Brass & Mahogany (c. 1906): French polish, nests of brass pins and numbers laid in gold
• Gold Star (c. 1935): Depression-era tinplate with a 1000 at the heart of every star
• Pin Cricket (c. 1938): find a gap, find a boundary, chase the century
• Pin Football (c. 1950): free kicks, corners, a penalty for 150 and a goal for 200
• Four Rings (c. 1952): the toy-shop window classic, with four rings of nails that decide each marble's fate
• Space Rocket (c. 1955): ringed planets, a rocket lift-off and slots that pay more for every marble you stack
Every table has its own leaderboard, because a 500 on one board isn't the same as a 250 on another.
EASY TO PLAY, HARD TO PUT DOWN
• Drag down anywhere to draw back the plunger, then let go to shoot
• Holes are for keeps, but a fast marble rattles straight across
• Cups pay while a marble rests inside, until the next marble knocks it out
• Bells ring for bonus points every time they're struck
• A ×2 hole doubles your whole score, including every point you score after it
• Free Ball holes give your marble back
• Shake your device, knock on its back or tap beside the board to nudge it. Nudge three times in a row and you'll TILT.
• Optional Tilt to Steer: tip your device to lift one side of the board
THE DAILY CHALLENGE
A new challenge every day. Each day brings a different table, a different room and anywhere from 8 to 12 marbles. Every player in the world gets the same one: the same board, the same marbles and the same golden hole worth double. You get one game a day: keep your streak alive, track your average and best scores, and send a friend a challenge through Game Center. An optional reminder nudges you if you haven't played today's board.
PLAY TOGETHER
• Pass & Play for 2 to 4 players on one device

MAKE IT YOURS

• Eight rooms to play in: a lamplit den, a 70s living room, a sunlit Kiwi bach, a Hamptons porch, a candlelit Château de Bagatelle, a tatami room, a summer back lawn and a sparkling poolside
• Seven retro rugs for the living room floor, 18 carpet colours for the den and three kinds of tatami mat
• Automatch Room picks the room that suits each table
• 45 app icons that follow you to your other devices

A LITTLE HISTORY
Bagatelle takes its name from a party at the Château de Bagatelle in 1777. It swept Victorian parlours, gained a spring plunger in the 1870s, and went on to inspire both pinball and pachinko. Bagatelle Ultra is our tribute to those boards.
