How to play Pong

Pong is the original arcade tennis game. Move your paddle up and down to keep the ball in play and angle it past your opponent. You face a computer-controlled paddle, and the first side to reach 11 points wins. The ball speeds up with every rally.

  1. 1 Move your paddle with the up and down arrows or the mouse.
  2. 2 Return the ball past the AI paddle to score a point.
  3. 3 The ball angle depends on where it hits your paddle.
  4. 4 First to 11 points wins the match.

Frequently asked questions

How do you win at Pong?

Hit the ball with the edges of your paddle to create sharp angles the AI cannot reach, and stay centred to cover the return.

What are the controls?

Move your paddle up and down with the arrow keys, mouse, or finger.

Does the ball get faster?

Yes — the ball accelerates through each rally, so points get harder to defend the longer they go on.

Is it single-player?

Yes, you play against a computer-controlled paddle, racing to 11 points.
