Toss

Swipe to throw

Swipe upwards and release to throw the paper ball. A longer swipe gives more power; leaning left or right changes your aim. The paper follows a natural arc. There is no hold stage or separate power slider. Use the same gesture with a mouse or trackpad.

A tap, a very short swipe or a downward swipe does not throw. Wait for your ball to land before taking the next shot.

Read the room

Check the bin distance and wind before each throw. Crosswind pushes the paper sideways, so aim against it. Swipe farther for more power. Watch where the paper lands and adjust your next throw.

Rooms change between shots. Some formats add partitions that your ball must clear. The dotted preview shows the beginning of the flight, not a guaranteed landing.

Shots and scoring

Land inside the bin to score a hit. Touching the rim alone does not count; the ball must go in. Outside Precision, each hit scores one point and a miss scores none.

In Precision, a hit scores 70 to 100 points depending on how close it lands to the centre. Nearby misses can still score up to 60 points; a miss roughly 60 centimetres or more from the centre scores zero.

Most formats give you 20 seconds for each throw. Running out of time records a minimum-power miss. Speed uses one 60-second match clock instead.

Shared rounds and results

Versus, Party and Around the Room give every player the same room for the corresponding throw. Complete your share of the round, then watch the other throws before the next round begins. H-O-R-S-E follows the caller, while Speed lets both players throw during the same countdown.

Scoring formats rank the highest score first. Elimination formats place survivors ahead of eliminated players, with later elimination placing higher. Equal measured results can be a draw.
