Share and stream live games and scores, earn achievements, challenge others, and participate in machine leaderboards – for any machine in any location!

Streamers and collectors can use Scorbit to add real-time scores or leaderboards to their streams and game rooms for big displays! Operators can use Scorbit to monitor their machines remotely, reducing downtime, and earning more revenue. Scorbit is connected pinball! • Find Games Scorbit’s platform allows owners of pinball machines to create venues and machines so other players can find and play them. There are tens of thousands of pinball machines from all over the world, and you can choose any one or create one to start building a leaderboard. You can view these high score lists at any time, with no limit to the number of entries! • Play Games in New Ways While not required, on machines equipped with Scorbit’s hardware - in public or private locations - your games are connected to Scorbit’s cloud platform. Other users of the app or viewers of the ScorbitVision web tools can view your games as they happen, in real-time. The Scorbit app allows you to tap Scorbit Tap Pads located under the glass of the game. You and other players near you can claim player slots, automatically placing your chosen display names next to those player numbers in the system for others to see. When the platform knows who you are, you can earn achievements! When your game is complete, adding your score to the leaderboard or sharing with your friends is as easy as pressing a button! For games not equipped with Scorbit’s hardware, when your game is finished, you can take a photo of your score and submit it to the same leaderboard and share your experience with others. • Pinball Community Scorbit not only creates a record for your own profile personal bests and achievements, but also allows you to take any game, at any time, and share it with people you choose on the platform. Using the community features of the app, you can curate a list of people you like to follow, either in advance or after a game. After you play, you can choose from that list with who you want to share with or challenge to play – or throw the score away, it’s up to you! When the people you follow also save scores to leaderboards or challenge you, those scores appear in your self-curated community feed. You can also visit other player’s profiles and see what games they are playing, and how they are doing. • Improve Your Game Along with watching others play, Scorbit allows you to view games you have finished with post-game analytics, to help you improve your game! • Monitor Your Machines Collectors and operators have access to their list of games that others can engage with. For games equipped with Scorbit’s hardware, the Scorbitron, collectors and operators who subscribe to the platform can monitor the health of their games remotely, tracking when they are online. The goal is to get more people playing pinball, which means more revenue, and more people enjoying the experience.

Just a community of dads supporting each other and raising strong families.
