One coin keeps the line moving
Each player gets one coin and one prize. In our simulated tests a drop took about 7 to 9 seconds, depending on screen height, so the next person steps up fast.

What is the Blinko branded game?
Blinko is a Plinko-style game of chance for the web. After a 3, 2, 1, GO countdown, a coin slides left and right across the top of a board of pins. The player taps to drop it, and it bounces down through the pins into one of six prize slots.
Each session is one coin and one prize. The result screen names what the player won and shows a redemption message, such as asking them to collect their gift from your staff. An optional sign-up form and a thank-you screen follow.
The coin gets a random sideways toss when it's released, so players can't aim at a slot. Everyone gets the same simple shot at the same prizes, and the result comes from the physics of the board, not a hidden weighting.
Why a branded Plinko-style game works at events
Blinko is quick to explain, quick to play and ends with something in the player's hands. That keeps a line moving and gives your team a reason to talk.
Chance, not skill
The coin gets a random sideways toss on release, so players can't aim at a slot. In a simulated test of 1,000 drops, every slot caught roughly 15 to 19 percent of the coins.
Six prizes you choose
Name each prize, give it an icon and a color, and write the redemption message. Winners see exactly what they've won and how to collect it.
Lead form built in
After the result, an optional form asks for a name and email, with phone optional and a consent checkbox. Send entries to your own endpoint, or switch the form off.

Blinko branded game: your questions answered
What is the Blinko branded game?
Blinko is a Plinko-style game of chance that runs in a web browser. Each player drops one coin through a board of pins and wins the prize in the slot where it lands. You choose the six prizes and brand the wording and colors.
Can I control which prize a player wins?
By default, no. The coin gets a random sideways toss when it's released, so players can't aim, and the result comes from the physics of the board rather than a weighted draw. You choose all six prizes and which slot each one sits in. In a simulated test of 1,000 drops, every slot caught roughly 15 to 19 percent of the coins, and the two outer slots caught a little more than the middle four.
Can Blinko capture leads?
Yes. After the result screen, an optional form asks for a name and email, with phone number optional and a consent checkbox whose wording you set. Entries can be sent to an endpoint you provide, and nothing is sent anywhere unless you set one up. If you don't need leads, the form can be switched off.
Do players need to download anything?
No. Blinko runs in a phone or desktop browser, so you can share it with a link or a QR code. It's built for portrait screens, so on a computer it sits centered with space on either side.
