Franklin Sports Whirl Ball Electronic Arcade Game with Auto Scoring, Sounds and Ball-Return Ramp

Bring arcade-style target rolling into the game room with the Franklin Sports Whirl Ball Game. Players roll the included arcade balls up the ramp and aim for five scoring zones worth 10 to 50 points while racing against a 30-second electronic timer.

Arcade-Style Whirl Ball Action

Roll a ball up the playing ramp and aim for one of the five target openings. Each zone awards a different point value, allowing players to choose between easier targets and higher-scoring challenges.

The objective is to earn as many points as possible before the 30-second timer expires.

Five Scoring Zones

The target area includes five zones with values ranging from 10 to 50 points. Multiple targets create different aiming options during each timed round.

Players can practice:

• Rolling accuracy
• Speed and timing
• Distance control
• Hand-eye coordination
• Strategic target selection
• Personal high-score improvement

30-Second Electronic Timer

Each round runs for 30 seconds, encouraging players to roll quickly while maintaining control. The timed format keeps turns short and makes it easy for multiple participants to rotate through the game.

Use the built-in display and sounds to follow the round’s progress.

Automatic Electronic Scoring

The game records points electronically when a valid ball enters a scoring zone. Automatic scoring eliminates the need for a score pad and allows players to focus on the next roll.

Sensor performance may depend on correct assembly, fresh batteries and unobstructed target openings.

Arcade Sound Effects

Built-in sounds provide audible feedback and create a more immersive game-room experience. The supplied information does not indicate whether the sound volume can be adjusted or muted.

Automatic Ball Return

After a ball enters a scoring zone, the internal return system directs it back down the ramp toward the player. This reduces retrieval time and helps keep the action moving throughout each timed round.

Keep hands away from the target openings and internal return path while the game is in operation.

Two Arcade Balls Included

Two compatible balls are included. The automatic return allows players to alternate between them and continue rolling as the timer counts down.

Use only the supplied balls or replacements specifically approved by Franklin Sports. Balls of a different size or weight may jam the return system or damage the electronic sensors.

Before playing, verify that:

• All sections are completely connected
