Pull. Release.
Roll.

The parlour game that came before pinball. Draw back the plunger, let go, and watch your marble race round the arch, rattle through the nails and drop into the 250. Or not.

From a Victorian parlour
to the space race.

Every board is simulated marble by marble and nail by nail, so every shot plays out the way it would on the real thing. And every table keeps its own leaderboard, because a 500 on one board isn't a 250 on another.

Homemade

Homemade

Green paint, red holes and a 250 that everyone remembers hitting exactly once.

c. 1880

Victorian Corinthian

Mahogany, baize, brass bells and the dreaded ×2.

c. 1905

Belle Époque

Teal enamel, gilt scrollwork and ringing brass mushrooms.

c. 1906

Brass & Mahogany

French polish, nests of brass pins and numbers laid in gold.

c. 1935

Gold Star

Depression-era tinplate with a 1000 at the heart of every star.

c. 1938

Pin Cricket

Find a gap, find a boundary, chase the century.

c. 1950

Pin Football

Free kicks, corners, a penalty for 150 and a goal for 200.

c. 1952

Four Rings

The toy-shop window classic, with four rings of nails that decide each marble's fate.

c. 1955

Space Rocket

Ringed planets, a rocket lift-off and slots that pay more for every marble you stack.

Drag down. Let go.
Hope.

Drag down anywhere to draw back the plunger. 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.

●

Holes

Holes are for keeps, but a fast marble rattles straight across.

◡

Cups

Cups pay while a marble rests inside, until the next marble knocks it out.

🔔

Bells

Bells ring for bonus points every time they're struck.

×2

The ×2

Doubles your whole score, including every point you score after it.

FREE

Free Ball

Free Ball holes give your marble back for another go.

TILT

Nudge & Tilt

Shake, knock on the back or tap beside the board to nudge it. Nudge three times in a row and you'll TILT. Or turn on Tilt to Steer and tip your device.

A parlour full
of little touches.

Before pinball,
there was bagatelle.

Bagatelle Ultra is our tribute to the boards that filled parlours, pubs and toy-shop windows for a century and a half.

1777

The game takes its name from a party at the Château de Bagatelle, just outside Paris.

1800s

Bagatelle sweeps across Victorian parlours, played with a cue on long baize-lined tables.

1870s

The spring plunger arrives, and the board shrinks to fit on a tabletop.

1930s

Bagatelle goes on to inspire both pinball and pachinko.

See it in action.
