Profile

Whitewood is a pinball playfield platform or manufacturing process used by major pinball manufacturers including Stern Pinball and Jersey Jack Pinball. It represents a bare or prototype-stage playfield used in the early development and testing phases of pinball game creation. Whitewood playfields serve as the foundation for iterating on game design, artwork, and mechanics before final production, with notable examples including The Walking Dead (Stern, 2014) and Winchester Mystery House (Jersey Jack).
