How to play Air Hockey
- Pick a mode
Practice against the computer from Easy to Pro, share one screen with a friend, or create a private online match with an invite code.
- Move your striker
Use your mouse, finger or arrow keys. Your striker stays in your half and follows quickly but not instantly.
- Score first
Send the puck into the far goal. Practice games go to 3, 5 or 7 goals; online matches go to seven.
Tips to improve
- Do not chase the puck into the corners. Stay between the puck and your goal and let it come to you.
- Swing through the puck rather than meeting it with a still striker for a much harder shot.
- Bank shots off the side walls beat a defender who is guarding the middle.
- After you concede, use the serve pause to line up a clean opening shot.
Questions
Can I earn money playing Air Hockey?
Yes, as a free DayDimes member. Air Hockey has 3 one-time goals worth 50 Tickets in all, up to 30 for “Win 5 matches”, and every minute you play counts toward daily game quests worth up to 60 Tickets a day. Swap your Tickets for PayPal Cash or gift cards in your account.
Is air hockey on DayDimes free?
Yes. Every mode is free and no Tickets are ever spent. Members also earn Tickets from daily game quests.
How does online air hockey stay fair?
In a private match the DayDimes server runs the table and sends both players the same puck. If a player drops, play pauses until both are connected again.
Can two people play on one device?
Yes. On a touch screen each player uses their own half. With a keyboard, the bottom player uses the arrow keys and the top player uses W A S D.
Which computer level should I choose?
Start on Normal. Hard and Pro move faster and punish loose defence.
