The hardest game of ball hide & seek I've had was on my old Getaway. At the very top left corner of the playfield there's supposed to be a metal guard, blocking a gap above that turnaround loop, mine was missing. In very rare occasions it was possible, with perfect timing, for a 2nd ball to strike a ball already zooming around the supercharger which would then jump over the playfield backboard and down into the cabinet. Happened to me I think 3 times in 8 years of ownership. Anyway, on one occasion the ball having jumped the backboard managed to land in one of those white plastic wiring loom support loops. I gave up looking for it and added another ball, spotted it at a later date.
My Houdini Is a ball losing monster. About half a dozen places so far the buggers have been 'lost' in. Usually it's during a multiball When you can't keep your eyes on everything.
Worst one was when all six balls were in play and two disappeared, managed to get them both into the launch mechanism for the Trunk and it couldn't launch. Glass off again
