Drop the disc. Watch it bounce. Claim the prize.
Visitors release a disc into a peg field and watch it weave to a winning slot. The randomness feels natural, the suspense lasts three full seconds, and every drop converts.
The real Gamification Studio 2.0, right here.
This isn't a mockup. It's the same Plinko runtime that ships to your visitors. Click anywhere on the editor to expand it to full screen.
Trusted by 11,000+ brands shipping Plinko popups, disc-drop games, and peg-field reward campaigns.
A Plinko popup is the only game format that fills a phone screen vertically and holds attention for four full seconds.
Visitors release a disc into a field of pegs. It bounces, weaves, and settles into a prize slot at the bottom. The natural physics of the fall is hypnotic, and the four-second drop creates the longest attention window of any popup format we ship.
- Also called: Plinko popup, disc drop game, peg field popup, vertical drop reveal, gameshow game.
- Best for mobile-first ecommerce, in-app daily rewards, trade-show booth attractors, email win-back campaigns.
- The vertical drop is mobile-native, Plinko's mobile conversion rate is 1.3 to 1.5x its desktop rate.
- Built on the same engine that powers 5+ other Poper games (spin the wheel, scratch card, mystery box, slot machine, claw machine).
Plinko's name comes from The Price Is Right, where contestants dropped chips down a peg-field board for cash prizes. The mechanic is older, pachinko parlors in Japan have run vertical-peg games since the 1920s. Both share the same loop: release, watch, react. The randomness feels physics-driven, the player feels in control of the release, and the reveal lands hard.
On the web, the Plinko popup ports that exact loop. A disc falls through a configurable peg field (5 to 9 rows) and settles into one of N prize slots. The slots are weighted (so the brand controls outcome odds), but the visual bouncing still feels random. Conversion rate: a static 15% off popup hits 3 to 4%; a Plinko popup with the same offer hits 16 to 22%. Same audience, same offer, 4 to 5x the lift, because the visitor stays watching.
Plinko is the most mobile-native game format we ship. Vertical-first, no horizontal dragging, the entire game fills a phone screen edge-to-edge. Mobile conversion rates outperform desktop by 30 to 50% on average, the only Poper game where that's consistently true.
If you're searching for a free Plinko popup, a disc-drop game widget, a vertical-fall reward popup, or a gameshow-style opt-in tool, this is the right page. Poper runs on Shopify, WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, Webflow, BigCommerce, Framer, Ghost, and any site that accepts a script tag.
When to use a Plinko popup
Best fit: mobile-first ecommerce (where vertical scroll dominates), in-app daily reward (high attention budget), trade-show booth (the slow drop attracts crowds), email re-engagement (the novelty pulls dormant subscribers back). Use Plinko when you have the screen real estate and want the longest attention window of any format.
How Plinko compares to other gamification formats
Spin the wheel is universally understood but takes horizontal real estate. Scratch card is tactile but slower. Mystery box is fast but lacks suspense. Slot machine has casino baggage. Claw machine is the most novel but slowest. Plinko wins on attention duration and mobile fit, it's the right choice for mobile-first audiences that you want to keep watching as long as possible.

Six rules for shipping a Plinko campaign that actually converts.
Distilled from 980,000 drops per week across 11,000+ campaigns. The patterns that lift conversion, the mistakes that tank it.
Use 7 peg rows, not 5 or 9
Five rows = the drop ends too fast (under 2 seconds, no suspense). Nine rows = visitors lose interest before the disc lands. Seven rows hits the sweet spot: ~3.5 seconds of fall, just long enough to hold attention without losing it.
Center the biggest prize
Visually, the center slot is where the disc 'wants' to land, gravity feels balanced. Put your jackpot prize in the center slot. Even though the actual outcome is weighted by odds (not physics), visitors feel like they're aiming for the center.
Make every slot a real win
Edge slots should still have decent rewards (5% off, free shipping). A 'TRY AGAIN' edge slot kills the goodwill. Even the worst outcome should feel like a small win.
Capture email before the drop
Pre-drop capture lifts revenue per visitor by 3.5 to 4x. The drop animation is your reward to them; the email is your reward in return.
Use weighted odds, not real physics
Real physics produces a bell curve where the edges get hit 1 in 50. That's bad for your campaign if you put your best prize on the edge. Use Poper's weighted odds (the disc still bounces convincingly) so YOU control which slot it lands in.
Tune for mobile first
Plinko is the most mobile-native format we ship. Test on a real phone (not browser dev tools). The peg spacing, disc size, and slot height should all feel snappy. If it looks tight on a 375px iPhone SE, it's wrong.
