The lower apron carries the hand-lettered script logo Barry O's BARBECUE CHALLENGE in red script on a cream plaque.

| Man | One cartoon man at the upper right, dark hair with a black moustache, wide toothy grin, white shirt with red trim, holding up a brown bottle with a red label; a second smaller red-and-white cartoon figure stands beside him |
| Skeleton | A white skull-and-crossbones inside a red circular badge printed on the small blue grid screen insert at centre playfield |

Full view of an illuminated pinball playfield in a bright red cabinet, shot from above the lower apron so the whole field is visible. The art is a cartoon barbecue pit theme under a blue night sky: arched green-lit ramps span the top, a neon-red arched sign reads FIRE CHALLENGE, and a cartoon man in a white shirt with red trim and a dark moustache grins from the upper right holding a bottle. Upper playfield has four round pop bumper caps (two green-lit with orange flame centres, one red), a spiral pink-and-red fan of heat-wave lines below them, and two more lit green bumpers at mid-field. A grid of translucent pink drop targets sits under a small blue grid insert screen bearing a circular skull-and-crossbones badge reading FIRE CHALLENGE, with a BONUS MULTIPLIERS panel of 1X 2X 3X / 4X 5X 6X plus SPICY, SMOKIN and CHARRED RIGHT/WELL DONE/SPICY HOT banks. Green flame plastics sweep up both lower sides. Lower left is a cream-and-red chequered Game Rules card; lower centre a white plaque reads Barry O's BARBECUE CHALLENGE; lower right a yellow plate reads Barry O's Barbecue Challenge, Limited Edition 6 of 100, American Pinball. Two yellow flippers flank a green-lit SHOOT AGAIN button.

A hand-painted airbrushed backglass with a turquoise sky background, yellow sunburst rays behind a purple cloud bank on the right. A grinning balding man with a moustache, bare-chested in an open blue-and-white shirt, leans forward over the windscreen of a blazing orange and yellow flame-covered hot rod at the left, raising a red fire extinguisher in his right hand.

At right a stubby matte-purple chopped dragster with a tall fin, exposed rear wheel and a nose painted as a flaming skull sits on a strip of grey tarmac. Typography is centred upper-right: a red script name with white shadow above a huge white-and-black-outlined slab-serif word with red fill reading BARBECUE, over yellow CHALLENGE capitals flanked by stars, with a red ribbon banner below reading HOT SAUCE and HOT RODS in white.

Airbrushed cartoon-style backglass on a cyan and turquoise sky background with pale cloud swirls and a few white stars. A huge title fills the upper centre: 'Barry O's' in slanted orange-and-yellow script with a red outline, above 'BARBECUE' in big arched white block letters with black shadow and a red underline swoosh, and 'CHALLENGE' in smaller yellow capitals on a red band beneath. At upper left a grinning balding man in a light blue shirt and dark tie leans out of a chrome hot rod, squeezing a red sauce bottle; a large pink pig wearing black sunglasses grins beside him in the seat. The orange-red hot rod dominates the left and centre, its open engine and exposed supercharger chrome-bright, with orange and yellow flames licking rearwards from the bodywork. To the right a second low black-and-purple hot rod with wide rear tyres carries roundel lettering and a small '1'. A red banner across the bottom reads 'HOT SAUCE and HOT RODS'. Small white text at the very top reads 'AMERICAN PINBALL'.
