This game is a digital version of the popular party drinking game known as beer pong. The game is set up with 20 solo cups — 10 on each side– forming a pyramid. 4 cups in the back row, 3 in the next, 2 cups ahead, and a final cup in front.
Player one starts a new game and a message is sent to the opponent. The opponent opens the game and gets two chances to swipe the ball and try to make it into a cup. If the ball goes into the cup, the cup is taken away. If both balls go into the cups, the player gets balls back. Balls back mean both balls go back to the player and they get to try to swipe the balls into more cups. This happens until the player misses. When the player misses, their turn is over and the next player attempts to make it into the other cups. The objective of the game is to make it into as many cups first. If you make it into all of the cups, the game is still not over, the other player can redeem themselves.
Unlike its real life counterpart, once the game is over and a winner is determined, the loser does not have to drink all of the remaining cups left on the table.
This game is available to anyone with access to the iPhone’s iMessage feature, virtually allowing anyone to become that stereotypical party-goer for the duration of the game. This game obviously does not include the use of beer or any other type of liquid, but the fun is still very intoxicating.
I know that after a few games played, I wanted to dust off the ol’ ping pong table and invite about a few dozen friends and have an actual tournament. This game is very fun and I highly recommend everyone to play it. It is a great thing to do when you want to kill some time.
With every good thing in life, there is always a critic. Someone who can’t help but disagree or get offended with everything. I have read many reviews that this game should be banned because it promotes and encourages drinking and partying. But in all honesty, the game is far from that. It is a harmless game that was created to pass time. The one unfortunate thing about the app and the game itself is that it can only be played between two people. I would love to see a “teams” option so that you and a buddy can take on two other buddies in a group chat.
Overall, a good game is really hard to find these days. It has been a while since I have opened my phone just to play a game. In my opinion, player v. player games are very entertaining and that is one of the reasons I really enjoy the Gamepigeon iMessage app.
The game is simple, fun, and best of all: it is 100% free!
You might think of ping pong as a fun activity while hanging around with some friends, but it's a pro sport like any other, complete with a code of conduct and strict rules.
The International Table Tennis Federation (ITTF) even lays out how many sponsorships can be on players' shirts in the table tennis rules - no more than two.
Whether you're playing for a world championship or want to be the trophy winner among your friends, make sure you know these basic ping pong rules.
Set-up and Equipment
While table measurements and bounce height don’t necessarily matter when you’re playing on the web, it’s helpful to know the regulations if you’re thinking of taking on a league.
An official ping pong table has the following measurements:
- 2.74 meters long
- 1.525 meters wide
- 76 centimeters high
The surface can be any material but it needs to have a uniform bounce height of 23 centimeters when a standard ping pong ball is dropped on it from 30 centimeters high.
The table is divided into two half courts, each further split into two halves, and a net is stretched across the table at the halfway point. The top of the net must be 15.25 centimeters above the surface.
Ping Pong Serving Rules
When you serve the ball, it must bounce once on your side of the net and once on your opponent's side. They can't return the serve until the ball hits their side of the court.
The ball must pass over the net without touching it for the play to continue. If it hits the net but still goes over, it's called a 'let' and gets re-served. If it hits the net and doesn't go over, you lose the serve and your opponent gets a point.

Scoring in Ping Pong
The official ping pong rules changed in 2001. Before that, the winner was the first player to reach 21 points but under the current rules, the winning score is 11 points.
There must be a 2-point gap between players at the end of the game. When the game hits 10-10, it's a 'deuce' and play continues until one player gets a 2-point lead.
Free Pong Games
A ping pong match can be any number of games but the most common is best 3 out of 5. The only restriction is that it needs to be an odd number to avoid ties.
Singles Rules
In a singles game, a player serves twice, and then service switches to the other player. This changes to alternating on every serve in extra play.
There's no official rule about how to decide who serves first so it's up to the players to decide.
Service doesn't have to be diagonal in a singles game - you can serve straight across to your opponent.
Doubles Rules
In a doubles game, the serve does have to be diagonal. The serving team decides which partner serves first. Let's call them player 1A. The service rotation is as follows:
- 1A serves 2B
- 1B serves 2A
- 2A serves 2B
- 2B serves 1A
Each player serves twice and this rotation continues throughout the game. Teams alternate the first serve for each game in the match.
