Profile

The Princess Bride is a Multimorphic P3 pinball machine released in 2024, featuring a magnetic ball grab mechanism on the Cliffs of Insanity playfield that won best toy/mechanism at the 2024 Kaneda Kudos Pinball Awards. The game leverages the beloved multi-generational IP from the classic film and is expected to become the highest-selling P3 module to date, with animations comparable to Jersey Jack Pinball quality.
