🏓 Dinkr

Play pickleball online — free, in your browser

Dinkr is a realistic, free online pickleball game. There is nothing to download — open it on any computer or phone and play singles or doubles against other people online or against a tunable computer opponent (Easy, Medium, Hard, Pro). Matches use authentic pickleball rules, and registered players climb an ELO ranking with a global leaderboard.

How to play

• Move your paddle with the mouse or by dragging your finger; contact is automatic when the ball is in reach.
• Serve by tapping or clicking — the serve must travel diagonally and clear the kitchen.
• Shots: hold Lob (or right-click) to loft the ball; on Chrome/Edge you can even call shots by voice — say “dink”, “drop”, “drive”, “lob” or “smash”.
• Scoring: games go to 11 points, win by 2. Only the serving side scores (side-out scoring), and doubles uses the standard two-server rotation.

The real rules, simulated

• Two-bounce rule: the ball must bounce once on each side before either team may volley.
• The kitchen (non-volley zone): you can’t volley the ball out of the air while standing in the 7-foot zone next to the net.
• Faults: serving into the kitchen, stepping into the kitchen on a volley, hitting out of bounds, or missing the two-bounce rule all end the rally.
