No makeup. No pyrotechnics. Just the essentials.
It’s time! 2025 TWIPY pinball awards voting is officially open. We stripped it down this year to what matters: 7 categories, all focused on the games. Game of the Year. Best Art Package. The Lyman F. Sheats Award for Best Rules and Code, and more!'
Voting runs January 5–20, with winners revealed February 7 in a special episode of the BASH Pinball Podcast.
This year’s show puts the spotlight squarely on the machines themselves: the art, the code, the layouts, the sound—everything you experience when you press play.
2025 TWPY Awards Categories:
- Game of the Year
- Best Theme Integration
- Lyman F. Sheats Best Rules and Code
- Best Art Package
- Best Playfield Layout
- Best Audio Package
- Best Animations
We’re keeping things independent, so there are no sponsors. There will be an optional donation link on Ko-Fi to help cover basic costs, like trophies; any extra funds raised will be donated to the Strong National Museum of Play in Rochester, NY.
