Why share your games with the Collective?

• Sharing the pinball hobby is one of the founding principles of NWPC.
  • Home collectors have amazing lineups that they wish to share with the wider community.
  • The Sanctuary is the perfect place to do that!
• Some collectors have a surplus of games. Sharing a game at The Sanctuary is much easier (and free) compared to off-site storage, and less heart-breaking than selling your game!
• We look forward to offering incentives to game donors in the future, but aren't yet able to do so.
• Game donors will be recognized on our website and on placards attached to their loaned games. 

How do I get my pinball machine showcased at The Sanctuary?

Fill out our Game Loan Offer form. The Lineup Committee will reach out if/when they would like to host your game.

What criteria do the Lineup Committee use to pick games?

• We try to keep the lineup diverse across eras, manufacturers and themes.
• Preference is given to member-owned machines.
• Loan terms of 3 months or longer are preferred.
• Games must be playable. We do not accept project games except under very special circumstances.

What can I expect when I loan a game to NWPC?

• Games are insured against theft, accidents and other catastrophic incidents while under NWPC's care and control.
• We can handle transport if needed.
• Our goal is to return all machines in equal, if not better, condition than when we received them.
• Notes about game condition will be taken when the game is accepted, and reviewed when it is returned.
• NWPC will cover all routine maintenance and upkeep (including parts).
• If there are major or expensive issues, we will work with the donor for a fair resolution.
• Agreements about specific loan terms will be arranged with donor, including:
• Length of game loan
• Who will perform maintenance (donor, NWPC techs, or both)
• Other donor-specific terms as needed
• Read our game donor agreement.
