Sling Puck is a 2-players game!! Perfect for your family. Who will be the fastest? A game of action and speed where the goal is to pass all of your chips into the opposing players side of the sectioned board. But the action must be done using one finger only, and using the elastic band to propel your chips through the opening to the other side! Take aim and let the fun fly! Simultaneously, both players must put all their pucks through the hatch so that they reach the adverse camp. #StayHome #StayAtHome

That's just the start. Play an all-orange word off your opponent's blue word and their blue tiles convert to your orange — doubling the score. Three board sizes. Smarter matchmaking. Every game goes down to the wire. COLOR CONVERSION Every word on the board is a target. Spot a blue word you can extend with orange tiles? Add them and the entire word converts to orange — doubling its value. That blue Z₁₀ your opponent played? It's now an orange Z₂₀. Land it on a Triple Word square and the points are enormous. The best players don't just play words — they play the board. SMART MATCHMAKING Our matchmaking looks at far more than just your running average score. Whether you play short, simple words or obscure high-scoring ones, you'll face opponents who play like you do. The result? Neck-and-neck games where every word counts. The more you play, the smarter it gets — and your matches get tighter and more competitive from there. Every win is earned. Psst — it also means anyone using cheat tools naturally gets matched with each other, not with you. THE BOARD Start on Compact. The 15×15 grid gives you 100 tiles — 30 orange, 70 blue — with multiplier squares everywhere: Double Letter, Triple Letter, Double Word and Triple Word. Small enough to read the whole board at a glance, tight enough to punish a loose move. Complete 10 Compact games and Classic Board unlocks free. The 19×19 grid brings 160 tiles and far more room to build. Stack multipliers with orange tiles and watch the points pile up. Want more still? The Superboard is a massive 21×21 grid with 200 tiles. More space, more angles, more ways to win. PLAY YOUR WAY Nine ways to play across three board sizes. Get matched with an opponent at your skill level, challenge a friend, or go head-to-head on the same device with Pass & Play. Prefer solo? Take on the Trainee, Normie, or Professor bots — each with their own playing style — or practice alone with every tile to yourself. Solo modes are a one-time upgrade — yours on every board you've unlocked. IN-GAME CHAT Playing a friend? Chat freely while you play. Matched with a stranger? Send quick messages like "Nice word!" and "Good game!" to keep things fun. You're always in control — turn it off anytime. FREE TO PLAY Jump straight in with up to five multiplayer games running at once — finish one, start another. Complete 10 Compact games and the Classic board unlocks free. Want more? Upgrade to unlimited multiplayer, unlock Solo modes, remove ads, or go big with the Superboard. All one-time purchases. No subscriptions. No pay-to-win. Just play.
