Plinko Game for Shopify
Drop the ball and let customers win their reward.
Plinko is a classic arcade game where a ball is released from the top of a pegged board and bounces unpredictably until it settles into a slot at the bottom. That unpredictable, physics-driven descent is exactly what makes it so watchable — shoppers can't look away while the ball ricochets toward its reward. On a Shopify store, that built-in suspense translates into longer engagement and a memorable reward moment that stands out from the usual discount popup.
Because Plinko is instantly recognizable from TV and arcades, it needs almost no explanation, which keeps participation high across all audiences. Each landing slot is tied to a reward you define — a discount, free shipping, a gift, or a try-again — and you control the odds so popular prizes appear at the rate you want. Prizo's Plinko runs as a list-building entry popup, where shoppers drop the ball after entering their email, and on the post-purchase thank-you page, where buyers win an incentive for their next order at their moment of peak satisfaction.
Setup is entirely no-code. In the Prizo dashboard you adjust the board layout, the number of pegs and slots, the reward mapping, and the on-brand visuals, then connect outcomes to native Shopify discount codes that deliver automatically. The game is built to perform smoothly on both desktop and mobile, so the animation stays crisp on phones where most Shopify shoppers are. Plinko is a strong pick for merchants running promotions and flash sales who want a high-energy, spectator-friendly format that feels more like entertainment than a coupon.
How It Works
Shopper releases the ball
After triggering the game — on entry in exchange for an email, or on the thank-you page — the shopper drops the ball from the top of the board.
It bounces to a slot
The ball ricochets through the pegs and lands in a reward slot weighted by the odds you configured, building suspense the whole way down.
The reward is delivered
The slot's prize is issued as a Shopify discount code and emailed automatically, ready to redeem.
