Alice's Adventures in Wonderland is a limited-edition pinball game (500-unit run) designed by John Popadiuk and produced by Dutch Pinball Exclusives (DPX), launching October 2024. The game features Zombie Yeti artwork and has become DPX's flagship title, though it has been plagued by production delays, topper fulfillment issues, and code development challenges. By early 2026, approximately 275-350 units had shipped with ongoing completion efforts continuing under Melvin Williams' independent code team after DPX's shutdown.
