About the parlour

Pub Games Parlour gathers five table games under one roof — pool, table shuffle, darts, mini golf and bowling — and every one of them opens in the browser tab you are reading this in. Nothing to download, no account to create.

The games are built on a physics simulation written for them. Balls slide and roll, pucks lose speed on the waxed wood, pins knock each other over, and the computer opponent plans its shots by trying them in the same simulation. Because the simulation is exact and repeatable, a numbered challenge is the same on every phone and every computer.

Everything runs on your device. The site has no adverts, no analytics and no third-party scripts, and your saved games stay in your browser.

The games are about the skill of the table itself. There are no prizes, no stakes and nothing to buy — just the next shot.
