Table Tennis 3D
Arcade · Real table tennis in a neon club: spin, smash and climb the Tour.
Play table tennis free online in a neon club: lasers, a crowd waving glow sticks and a glowing table, seen in 3D from behind your paddle. The ball has real height: it bounces on the table, clips the net and goes out, so every point plays like the real sport. Add topspin, backspin and sidespin, fill the power meter and smash. Climb the endless Tour against rivals with their own styles, or play Hops the turtle on Easy, Medium or Hard.

How to play
- Move your paddle across and forward or back: slide up to step forward, down to step back (on a phone, drag anywhere on the screen; on a computer, with the mouse or the arrow keys). It hits the ball wherever it meets it after the bounce, so step in to take it early. Tap, click or press Space to serve.
- Hit the ball so it bounces on the other side of the net. The middle of your paddle is a safe return; the edge sends the ball wide, and can miss the table.
- Spin comes from your swing: push your paddle forward into the ball (slide up, or hold â) for topspin, which is faster, lower and deeper, and pull back (â) for backspin, which is slower, higher and shorter. Swipe right or left as you hit and the ball goes that way with sidespin, curving as it flies; even a small pull back gives backspin.
- You lose the point if your shot hits the net, goes out or misses the table, or if the ball bounces twice on your side. Swing hard into a high ball to smash it; your returns in a rally also fill the power meter: when it's full, tap SMASH (or press S) and your next hit is a fast, deep smash.
- Games go to 11, and you must win by 2. The serve switches every 2 points, and after every point from 10â10. Choose the Tour, or Easy, Medium or Hard against Hops.
Tips to win
- Use the middle of your paddle when you're under pressure. The edge is for winners: it sends the ball wide, but it's also how balls end up off the table.
- Aim away from your opponent. A wide ball pulls them to one side, and the next one can go to the other.
- Mix your spin. Topspin comes through fast and deep, backspin lands short and slow. Switching between them breaks your opponent's rhythm.
- Save your smash for the right ball. The meter fills with every return in a rally, so keep the ball in play first, then smash when you're well placed. A smash is very hard to return.
- Learn your Tour rivals: Pinch the crab curves every shot, Hoot the owl gets everything back (be patient and go wide), Zap the frog smashes high balls (keep yours low) and Dash the fox plays short drop shots.
- Learning? Press Teach me: Hops shows where the ball will bounce and a glowing ring where to put your paddle, and explains the safe middle, the edge and spin. Coached games are practice, so they don't go on the leaderboard.

Questions
How do you play ping pong online?
Slide your paddle to meet the ball and hit it so it bounces on the other side. Use the middle of the paddle for a safe return and the edge to go wide, and push forward or pull back as you hit for spin. You win the point when your opponent misses, hits the net or the ball goes out; first to 11 with a two-point lead wins.
Is ping pong the same as table tennis?
Yes. Table tennis is the official name of the sport and ping pong is the everyday one; the rules are the same. This game plays by them: the ball must bounce on the other side, two bounces on your side lose the point, games go to 11 and the serve switches every 2 points.
How do you put spin on the ball?
Spin comes from your swing. Push your paddle forward into the ball as you hit (slide up, or hold â) for topspin: the ball goes faster, lower and deeper. Pull back (â) for backspin: it's slower, with a higher arc, and shorter. Swipe right or left as you hit and the ball goes that way, curving with sidespin.
What is the Tour?
An endless ladder of rival players: Pip the penguin plays a bit of everything, Pinch the crab curves every shot, Hoot the owl gets everything back, Zap the frog smashes high balls and, later on, Dash the fox plays short drop shots. Every 5th match is the boss, DJ Octo, over the best of 3 games. Rivals get better as you climb, each win earns 1 to 3 stars (3 if the rival averages 3 points or fewer a game, 2 for 6 or fewer), and the Tour map lets you replay any match you've reached.
Can I play table tennis online with a friend?
Yes. Choose Online, then Play a friend, and send the link, or pick Quick match to play the next person who's looking. You play the near end on your screen and your friend plays theirs, shot by shot in real time, with the same spin and smashes. First to 11, win by 2.
Is this ping pong game free?
Yes. Play free in your browser on phone, tablet or computer, with no download and no account. The club has its own music, and full screen makes the table bigger.
