Jersey Jack · 2017 · at 3 UK venues.
Jersey Jack's Dialed In! is a very different proposition from the company's licensed games. Designed by Pat Lawlor, it is a deliberately modern take on pinball built around a fictional smartphone-controlled city, with a huge amount of humour and interaction packed into the machine.
The game is full of Lawlor's trademark toys and unusual mechanisms, but the central attraction is how many different ways it gives the player to interact with the playfield. It is playful without being shallow.
It is not always the easiest game to find in British public locations, which makes encountering one particularly worthwhile. Don't be intimidated by the gadgets; find the main shots first and let the weird stuff reveal itself.

Silverball guide · Dialed In!
A SIM card multiplies the total of every mode you play afterwards, not the one you just finished. Collect them early and the same modes pay several times over. Leave them lit at the end of a ball and they are gone.

Three shots to cell phone during multiball adds a ball
Shoot SIM card for 100k (a lot of points) and it will give a permanent multiplier to your modes. (3 SIM cards = 4x modes)
Postpone multiball start by double flipping twice after locking 1st ball when the message is on the phone and its starting ringing.
Completing a mode lights the SIM Card (scoop under left ramp).
Light kickback by hitting BOB standup targets on left side. They will also light BOB modes at L orbit.
Hit "Mick On A Stick" mascot guy to charge phone.
The Big Bang shot (when lit) allows you to finish active modes such as multiball, disasters, BOB's and drones.
Hitting the flipper buttons moves the Disaster selection on the phone. Time your shot to start the Disaster you want.
Making a full plunge also counts as a right ramp shot, which can be helpful when you're playing Disasters or trying to light the Locks.
Once phone is charged (lit), shoot scoop to start mode.
Collecting lit sim cards is hard! If you get the chance to start multiball take it to increase the chance of collecting it accidentally.
Build up the Big Bang before starting modes; hitting the Big Bang during any mode automatically finishes it.
