Air Hockey

Drag your mallet to hit the puck into your opponent's goal. First to 7 wins.

How to play Air Hockey

Drag your mallet anywhere within your half of the table to block and strike the puck. Hit it past your opponent's mallet and into their goal to score. First player to reach 7 goals wins the match. Play against the computer, share the screen with a friend for local two-player, or connect online with a friend on a different device.

Playing with a friend online

Pick "Play with Friend", create a room, and share the code or invite link. The player who creates the room defends the bottom goal; whoever joins defends the top. Puck updates are exchanged over a direct or relayed connection. Keep both tabs open; network delays can affect online play.

Tips to get better at Air Hockey

Stay closer to your own goal than the center line by default β€” it's easier to react to an incoming shot from a defensive position than to chase the puck back after committing forward. Strike the puck off-center when you want to change its angle sharply, similar to hitting a pool ball. Watch your opponent's mallet position, not just the puck itself β€” where they're set up to hit from tells you where to expect the puck next.

Air Hockey practice guide

Recover after a shot instead of chasing every puck

Drag your mallet within your half of the table. Your position should let you block the route towards your goal while still reaching the puck. Rushing to the centre for every attack can leave the goal open behind you. After striking, watch the puck’s direction and bring the mallet back towards a useful defensive position. The first player to seven goals wins.

The opponent changes an easy-looking shot

A puck is travelling towards your goal near one side of the table. Moving the mallet far forward to hit it hard may let it pass behind you. First put the mallet across the puck’s path in your half, then choose the direction of the return. If the opponent is covering the centre, a wall rebound can change the approach angle, but it still needs a clear route past their mallet.

A focused practice session

  1. In a computer match, spend a few exchanges blocking controlled returns rather than swinging across the whole table.
  2. Try a straight return and an off-centre return, watching how the rebound differs.
  3. After conceding a goal, identify whether you were out of position or simply missed the interception.

What to keep in mind

The room creator defends the bottom goal and the joining player defends the top. Keep both tabs open for online play. A restart begins a fresh match; a good local result does not measure connection latency or establish that every network will behave identically.
