“I built this collection picking them up one by one, and I put them in my house,” says John Weeks, who founded the museum together with his son, Johnathan Weeks. “I’d fill up buildings with them, storage units.”
There will be a variety of entertaining tournaments there including “Gauntlet” “Pingo” “Pinnect Four” “Parents Just Don’t Understand” and “Swing your Partners.”

Museum Of Pinball envisions a total of over 120,000 square feet of pinball and arcade games near Palm Springs, California, and they want to use Kickstarter to help them accomplish this goal.
