About Pong

Pong is the game that started it all. Slide your paddle up and down to bounce the ball back at your opponent, and try to sneak it past their paddle to score. Play against a computer opponent or grab a friend for a two-player duel on the same screen. First to seven points wins. Simple, speedy, and endlessly fun.

Pong is one of our free board & strategy games for kids — play it right here in your browser, or browse all our free online games.

How to Play

  • Move the left paddle with the W and S keys, or touch the left side of the screen.
  • In two-player mode, the right paddle uses the up and down arrows or the right side.
  • Bounce the ball back and get it past your opponent to score a point.
  • The first player to reach seven points wins the match.

Tips & Tricks

  • Hit the ball with the edge of your paddle to change its angle.
  • Stay near the middle so you can reach shots on either side.
  • Watch the ball's speed — it gets faster with every rally.
