UK Machine Record
Haunted House
Gottlieb · 1982 · at 1 UK venue.
Haunted House is one of Gottlieb’s most distinctive classic machines, using a three-level playfield to create the feeling of exploring an actual haunted building.
The upper, main and lower playfields give the machine a unique physical structure, with each section offering different targets and challenges. The lower playfield is particularly unusual, giving the player a completely different perspective on the game.
Its appeal comes as much from the physical design as the rules. Explore every floor of the house; the most dangerous room isn’t necessarily the one you can see first.

Strategy tips written by players on PinTips , not by Silverball. Best-voted first.
A short plunge to the rightmost saucer should send the ball to the upper playfield.
General4 tips
- General
Mind the gap in between the 2 right flippers. Holding the right flippers up makes it easy for the ball to drain into that gap.
- General
Sending the ball to either the upper or lower playfields advances bonus multiplier to a maximum of 5X.
- General
Four routes to lower playfield: upper left hole, secret passage, trap door under right ramp, and draining from left half of upper playfield.
- General
Complete either the lower or upper playfield drop target bank to light Extra Ball kickout on the main playfield, lower far right.
