I always wonder ..what is the dream theme for a guy like Mike or Dwight..is there one theme that would be their #1 theme of all time and if it would lead to exciting new ideas for code/rule design.

[@erikaspinballjourney]

That would be fun to know! I’ll look to add that to my questions to ask him next time 😊

[@TiltingT]
