Your hand. One more rally.
Slide your hand and the paddle follows. Meet the next bounce, keep the ball in play, and turn a spare 45 seconds into a score worth sharing.
How to play Hand Pong
The far side returns the ball automatically. Each successful paddle return earns 10 points, and the rally gets faster as you play. You have three lives: a ball passing your paddle costs one. Your round ends at 45 seconds or when the last life is gone.
- Move your hand left and right to control the near paddle.
- Meet the ball before it passes your paddle. Each return earns 10 points.
- Keep going for 45 seconds. Three misses end your round.
Before your next round
How do I control the paddle?
Move one hand left and right in front of the camera. Position the paddle under the approaching ball to return it.
Am I playing another person live?
The opposite side returns the ball automatically. Friend challenges compare separate rounds through a shared link; there is no live multiplayer match.
What determines my Hand Pong score?
Each successful return earns 10 points. Keep the ball in play for up to 45 seconds. Three misses end the round early.
Does my camera video leave my device?
No. Camera frames and hand landmarks are processed in your browser. If you choose to save a score, numerical gameplay inputs are sent for score validation; your camera images and landmarks are not. Read about camera privacy.
Do I need a subscription?
No. Playing, creating a game profile, and saving arcade scores are free. A modern browser with WebGL is needed for the 3D arena. A webcam is required to play.
