> Everything we know about the surprise new game reveal from Barrels of Fun.

At the 13th hour of the 13th day, Barrels of Fun revealed a stunning surprise.

![__wf_reserved_inherit](https://media.kineticist.com/posts/barrels-of-fun-reveals-winchester-mystery-house/inline/68ed44465f5e55ee18884c8b_560992793_122264097824069794_957237729380268245_n.jpg)

I had speculated in [last week's This Week in Pinball newsletter](https://twip.kineticist.com/p/13th-hour) that Barrels of Fun could be up to their old tricks, and that the Friday teaser might be something more than a personnel announcement. Turns out that suspicion was correct! 

‍

It's my understanding after talking with the Barrels team that [Winchester Mystery House](/pinball-machines/winchester-mystery-house-2025) in a way represents the end of Phase One of the company, in that it's the last IP they secured before even starting production of a game. So maybe that means we'll get some more recognizable, in-demand IP from them in games moving forward.

‍

Still, from the little I've seen in the minutes following the reveal, this looks like it could be quite a fun game!  
  

## New Team Members Join Barrels of Fun

Of course, we did get some news of new team members joining the Houston-based pinball manufacturer. Jeff Dodson, [who we recently interviewed](/post/jeff-dodson-dune-interview), joins for more audio and music work, Jeff Underwood joins for electrical and prototype engineering, and Karl DeAngelo (IE Pinball) joins the team as a new designer.

## The New Game: Winchester Mystery House

As part of the reveal of new crew members, we also received all the details of a brand new machine, designed by Karl DeAngelo. I don't have a lot of information on the game, other than what's been shared on Facebook and what's contained in game's official flyer.

‍

It looks to be themed off of the Winchester Mystery House, an actual mansion in San Jose, California, that once belonged to the Winchester firearms family and has been a long running tourist attraction.
