## Transcript

Hi everyone, Joe Katz, software lead on Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. Let's take a trip to Wonka's office. To light the mode, you need to find the second golden ticket. As you can see, the UI highlights Wonka's office being lit. Shoot the TV scoop to start. The day I heard we were going to do this license, I knew I wanted to represent this scene somewhere in the game. In order to reach the jackpot stage, you must make alternating shots starting with the left side. After the left side shot, you must now make a right side shot. Once jackpot stage starts, you can cash out the jackpot with one of these shots or continue to build up the value. In this scenario we took the 3x jackpot. I hope you're all enjoying the sweetest game in pinball.
