Aim, choose your cue-ball contact and pull to shoot. Play American eight-ball or Chinese eight-ball — heyball — against the computer or a friend on the same device. Play 8 Ball Pool free in your browser against adjustable AI. No download or account.
Two eight-ball variants in one place: American, and Chinese eight-ball — also called heyball — with a fresh rack whenever you switch. Take on four computer levels or hand the cue to a friend on the same device. Aim assistance steps from the first contact point to full cue-ball paths, or turns off; eight fixed challenge positions come with two-stage hints. Master Hint recommends a shot, and phones get a vertical table.
How You WinLegally clear your solids or stripes, then legally pocket the eight ball to win.
It is free, and no account or download is needed. Play in a mobile or desktop browser; the computer opponent runs on your own device. An unfinished match resumes automatically in the same browser, and phones get a vertical table in portrait.
Both are on this page. The Variant picker switches between American eight-ball and Chinese eight-ball — also called heyball — and each switch racks a new game. American rules ask you to call a ball and a pocket after the break; Chinese rules need no called pockets, use different pocket jaws and require at least half power on the break.
Yes. Set Opponent to local two-player and the cue passes across the same screen shot by shot. There is no online matchmaking here; the other option is a computer opponent with four levels.
Aim assistance has three settings: the basic guide marks the legal first contact and short outgoing lines, full paths estimate the cue ball's route at the current power and tip, and you can switch both off. Master Hint recommends a whole shot. None of them promise where the cue ball finally stops, and the red warning marks a possibly illegal first hit rather than a difficult pot.
Challenges give you eight fixed, single-shot positions with no timer, two-stage hints, a demo and unlimited retries. Clears made unaided are recorded separately from clears that used hints or full paths, and demos do not count. Free practice works on a temporary copy of the table, so your match keeps its position.
