How do you play Table Tennis?

Slide your paddle to return the ball and score whenever your opponent misses. The first player to 11 points wins, and from 10 all you have to get two points ahead. The table is seen from above, just like the classic table tennis arcade games from the early days of video games.

If the ball gets past your paddle at the bottom, your opponent scores. Get it past the top paddle and the point is yours. The ball bounces off the long sides of the table.

What are the rules?

Winning scoreFirst to 11. From 10 all you need a two point lead (deuce)
ServeThe ball starts from the server's paddle by itself. The serve switches every two points, and every point from 10 all.
AnglesHit the ball with the middle of the paddle to send it straight, or with the edge to send it off at up to 60 degrees.
Ball speedEvery return makes it a little faster. It resets after each point.
OpponentsComputer on Easy, Normal or Hard, or two players on one screen

How do you aim the ball?

It depends on where the ball meets your paddle. Catch it on the right edge and it flies off to the right, on the left edge and it goes left. Moving the paddle as you hit adds a little extra curve in that direction.

Tips

  1. Hit with the edges. Straight returns are easy to handle. Angled shots bounce off the sides and drag your opponent across the table.
  2. Get back to the middle after every hit. Waiting on one side leaves the other side wide open.
  3. Read the bounce early. Move to where the ball will arrive instead of chasing it, or fast balls will get past you.
  4. Attack in long rallies. The faster the ball, the more mistakes your opponent makes. That is the moment for a sharp angle.

Frequently asked questions

Is Table Tennis free?

Yes. Play it free right on this page with no download or sign up, on computers, phones and tablets.

How many points do you need to win?

The first player to 11 wins. At 10 all it goes to deuce and you need a two point lead, the same as one game in real table tennis.

Why does the ball keep getting faster?

Every return speeds the ball up a little, so long rallies get more and more intense. The next serve after a point starts at the normal speed again.

How do I hit an angled shot?

Hit the ball with the edge of your paddle. The middle sends it straight, and the closer to the edge, the sharper the angle, up to 60 degrees.

Can two people play?

Yes. Pick Two players and each person controls one paddle. On phones and tablets use one finger in each half of the screen. On a keyboard the top player uses A/D and the bottom player uses the arrow keys.

How are the computer levels different?

Easy reacts late and makes lots of mistakes. Normal reads where the ball will land. Hard moves faster and angles the ball off the edge of its paddle. Every level makes more mistakes as the ball speeds up.
