As its title suggests, the Funhouse pinball machine is themed after the concept of a funhouse, a walk-through amusement park featuring many
attractions.
FunHouse features a talking doll head located near the upper-right corner of the playfield. The head, named Rudy, responds in real time to events in the
game, including informing the player of special bonuses, taunting and heckling the player, and appearing to follow the ball with its eyes when certain
targets are hit. Rudy is voiced by Ed Boon, and the technology behind Rudy’s facial movements was dubbed “Pin-Mation” by Williams.
The game’s overal theme is that of a funhouse, with the player taking on the role of a visitor to see its attractions. The overall goal of the game is to
advance the game time” to midnight and cause the FunHouse to close, allowing the player to start multiball mode. A secondary goal of the game is to
complete the “Mystery Mirror” by lighting all of its modes, starting “Super Frenzy’ mode. The game is over when the player has lost all balls, including
any extra balls earned.
Every target and ramp has a name and function following the funhouse theme. Aside from Rudy himself, the game’s main feature is a virtual clock in the
center of the playfíeld, which advances the current time by incremets of five minutes with each successful shot. When the clock reaches 11:30, it stops
advancing and the game announces that the FunHouse will close in thirty minutes. Making a successful shot to the “Hidden Hallway” locks the current
ball and advances the clock to 11:45. Making this shot again locks the second ball and advances the clock to midnight. Rudy then falls asleep and his
mouth remains open – to start Multiball, the player must shoot a ball into Rudy’s mouth. While at least two balls are in play, the player can score a
Jackpot by shooting the Trap Door next to Rudy while it is open. When multiball mode ends, the time resets to an earlier “opening'” time, and single-ball
mode continues as before
