How to play

  1. The first player to sink a solid (1–7) or stripe (9–15) takes that group; the other player gets the remaining group.
  2. Keep your turn by sinking one of your own balls. Hit one of your group first on each shot; scratching, missing every ball or hitting an opponent's ball first is a foul.
  3. After clearing your group, sink the 8 to win. Sinking it early or with a foul loses the frame. An 8 sunk on the break is spotted again.

How to play 8-Ball Pool ↗

Make your move

  • Touch/mouse: drag the table to aim and the power bar to shoot. Keyboard: use the arrows to aim and set power; Space or Enter shoots.
  • Keyboard: Left/Right aims, Up/Down sets shot power, Space or Enter shoots. Use W/A/S/D to move the cue ball during ball in hand.
  • Standard gamepad: D-pad aims or moves the cue ball during ball in hand; Up/Down changes power; the primary button shoots. Use the Denny Games pause control to stop play.
  • Open New frame to choose one of three AI difficulties or two players on one device. There is no online matchmaking. A new frame starts a new rack; leaving or reloading ends the current game.

A small head start

  • Drag around the cue ball to see how the aim line changes before taking a shot.
  • Use the power bar for a soft position shot; pull farther for a stronger break or a long pot.
  • Plan the route to the 8 early. Potting your group is not enough if the cue ball finishes behind another ball.

Compatibility notes

Touch and keyboard controls are implemented. Physical phones, controllers and Tesla browsers await device testing.
