Peggle is a series of casual puzzle video games created by PopCap Games, a subsidiary of Electronic Arts. Loosely based on Pachinko, Peggle was released for Microsoft Windows and macOS in 2007, initially receiving poor sales until its inclusion in Valve's The Orange Box (2007), resulting in its sales to surge and critical acclaim. Two sequels later followed: Peggle Nights (2008) and Peggle 2 (2013) while four spinoffs were released: Peggle Extreme (2007), Peggle: Dual Shot (2009), Peggle: World of Warcraft Edition (2009), and Peggle Blast (2014). The series follows Bjorn Unicorn, headmaster of the Peggle Institute, taking the player under tutelage alongside various Peggle masters.
Since its original release, the Peggle franchise has been downloaded more than 50 million times.
