OWN YOUR GAME
Origin by Warped Pinball
Origin is the hub for your arcade. It is a small box that plugs into your router, finds every Vector game on your network, and turns a row of machines into one arcade: live scores on the big screen, player avatars and a rank across every game, events that run themselves, and a QR code on every machine. It runs in your building, on hardware you own, with no subscription.
For players
Every player gets an account that follows them from machine to machine.
Build your own avatar
Pick a background, eyes, mouth, glasses, a hat, and hands. Your avatar shows up beside your scores on every leaderboard and on the big screen, so everyone knows who just took the top spot.
Pick your theme
Light, dark, or something louder. Each player chooses how Origin looks on their own phone, and the arcade picks the look of the big screen.
A rank across every game
High scores only tell you who is best at one machine. Origin gives every player a single rank built from every game they play, and shows how much each recent game moved it. It is a fair way to compare a regular on Addams Family with a newcomer on Fish Tales.
With Vector, every game counts automatically. Vector's personal leaderboards track your bests on one machine; Origin ranks you across all of them.
For owners
Whether it is a home game room or a busy arcade, Origin keeps the whole floor in one place.
Live scores from every Vector game
Every ball, every player, every machine, live on one big screen. Spectators see a game heating up from across the room, and players see where they stand before the next ball drains.
The scores come straight from Vector's live scoring, so there is nothing extra to wire up.
On any screen
Put the big screen on a Fire TV or Android TV with our free app, or open it in any web browser. Run one screen by the door and another over the tournament bank.
It runs itself
- Unattended events start on time, keep score, and email the results. Play classic formats or special ones like Golf, Limbo, and Half Life.
- Issue reports let players flag a broken game for you, so you hear about it before the next player does.
- Scores from any game come in from Vector, from a photo of the score, or from Stern Insider Connected.
- A QR code on every game puts scores, stats, and help one scan away.
Set up in three steps

-
1 Plug in power

Origin finds every Vector on your network by itself.
-
3 Open your address
Your arcade gets its own web address that players can reach from anywhere.
Better with Vector
Vector is the smart NVRAM kit inside each machine. Origin is the hub that brings them together. Each is great on its own; together, every game in the room becomes part of one arcade.
Live scores, everywhere
Vector streams every score from the machine as it happens. Origin puts all of those games side by side on one big screen.
From personal bests to a rank
Vector keeps a personal leaderboard on each machine. Origin turns every game a player has played into one rank across the arcade.
Tournaments that run themselves
Vector records every tournament score in order. Origin schedules the event, keeps the standings across games, and emails the results.
Nothing to configure
Vector boards already find each other on your network. Origin finds them the same way, so new machines join the arcade as soon as they are plugged in.
Your server. Your data.
OWN the server
There is no central server. Origin is the server, and it sits in your building.
OWN your data
Every score, player, and event lives in your box, and Origin backs it up every night.
OWN it outright
No subscription. Buy it once and it is yours, with updates installed for you overnight.
Lite or Pro
Both do everything on this page. The only difference is storage, and a Lite can be upgraded later.
Origin Lite
$400
32 GB of storage
Covers most home game rooms and small arcades. Start here unless you know you need more.
Origin Pro
$500
256 GB of storage
For arcades where players submit lots of score photos, or where there are lots of players on the machines all the time.
No subscription with either. The Fire TV and Android TV apps are free.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need Vector to use Origin?
Vector is what gives Origin live scores, so it is the best way to use it. Games without a Vector can still take part: players submit a photo of their score, and Stern games can report through Stern Insider Connected. See which machines Vector supports.
Is there a subscription?
No. Origin runs on the box in your building, so there is nothing to rent and no server of ours for it to depend on.
Is Origin only for arcades?
Not at all. A home game room with a few machines gets the same avatars, ranks, big screen, and events as a busy arcade.
How do I put the big screen on my TV?
Install the free Warped Pinball app on a Fire TV or Android TV, or open your arcade's address in any web browser and choose Big Screen.
Can I upgrade from Lite to Pro later?
Yes. Start with a Lite, and if your arcade outgrows its storage, it can be upgraded down the line. Email sales@warpedpinball.com when you are ready.
