Played at work during breaks...my coworkers are next to purchase!
Mostly using the Habenero ball for the table. We love it and look foward to taking it on vacation with friends!
Careful - It's hard to go back to work once Pepper Pong is set up!
We find that Habanero is the PERFECT ball for office settings, it has the perfect amount of 'pop' for conference room tables and medium-sized spaces. Like every ball, it's DEAD QUIET so you don't need to worry about disturbing colleagues.
Keep it spicy ️️️
We got the game last week. Super easy to set up and play. Me and the Hubbs played first. Next day we had the grandkids. We played and they thought it was a blast. Played on large kitchen table. But I have to say the head sweatbands are unusable. They are so small! Even my little granddaughter could not wear it. as it was way too tight. That is my only complaint. I thought those looked like a accessory, but no way! It would be great to get some that fit regular heads. Only reason for the 4 stars is head bands
Kelly, thanks so much for the awesome review! From spoused to grandkids, Pepper Pong delivers the goods! Kitchen tables might be the #1 most popular place to play (kitchen islands are a close #2) since they are so centrol to most houses.
Thanks for the feedback on the headbands, we are going to reach out separately and send you a different size that fits!
Actually receiving pepper pong was no small feat due to UPS shipping issues but every time I reached out to customer service, they went above and beyond to fix the problem and I finally received the package at the end of last week. We have had so much fun since, blasting some good 80s music while honing our skills. Big thanks to the team. Highly recommend this game and company!
Sara, we are so glad to FINALLY overcome all the UPS hiccups on your order! Great to hear it was worth the crazy wait :)
Thank you again for your patience and communication
Our family has never had the space for a ping pong table. We've now had Pepper Pong since Christmas and are loving it. We have a large den that allows us to easily put up and take down a folding banquet table. This size table works great and we love being able to play in the heart of our home (rather than in a basement) as Pepper Pong becomes the center of family action. My kids typically line up to play me or they play each other. It's also fun that there are different balls. While we typically play with the ghost pepper balls for our most competitive games, it can be fun as a change of pace to play with jalapeno or habanero balls. There is a very different strategy with these balls because they don't bounce nearly as high. This means that drop shots can be effective, or alternating between drop shots and deep shots.
Pepper Pong is also great because the balls aren't noisy and they don't break things in the room (I suppose the ghost pepper ball could do some damage with a particularly errant shot). Again, this is an advantage because it allows it to be played in a family room.
We're loving Pepper Pong and looking forward to taking it with us and sharing it with family and friends.
William, great video! And great points about the lack of space most people have for a full ping pong table, and the fact that Pepper Pong brings the action right into the HEART of the house (kitchen island, dining room table etc). Also glad to hear that you guys are putting all 3 peppers to the test! In some households there are masters of each ball, kind of like how Federer dominated grass and Nadal dominated clay ...
I purchased 2 sets and have been using them in my classroom of 9-11 year-olds. They ABSOLUTELY LOVE when I bring out the Pepper Pong bags. I've used them in the classroom during class parties and indoor recesses (we put together a bunch of desks) And we've used them in gym classes too (screens on the floor), putting both screens together for an extended game of 4 vs 4 was a huge success. It's easily the most requested activity from my class. I like having no injuries or broken stuff in my classroom while also getting some big time wiggles out of their systems.
Not only is the product great, the staff at Pepper Pong were extremely kind, helpful, and very fast to respond when I had some difficulty ordering. (The difficulty wasn't their fault, but they bent over backwards to help, which I really appreciated!)
Mr. Lyle, we need more teachers like you! Sounds like you keep it fun and engaging with those kiddos (and 9-11 can be a tricky age) ...
We are PUMPED to hear that everyone is enjoying Pepper Pong. Great call-out in terms of how it's SAFE and won't damage furniture etc. It's also DEAD SILENT ... in fact it might be the only quiet thing in your classroom :)
I got to play in my kitchen and it was so much spicy fun we worked up a sweat!
We're so happy to hear that you had a fun time in your kitchen while using our product, Kim. Adding a little spice to your kitchen can definitely work up a sweat! ;)
I love Pepper Pong! I have always loved ping pong and have wanted to get a table, but didn’t want to commit to purchasing such a large item. I love that this is so compact and portable! Great fun for kids and adults!
Your review just made our day, Jessica! ️ We're absolutely thrilled to hear how Pepper Pong has brought the joy of ping pong into your life without the space commitment of a full table. It's exactly why we created this game - to make those fun rallies possible anywhere, anytime!
Knowing that both kids and adults are enjoying it together brings such a smile to our faces. Thank you for sharing your wonderful experience with us! Keep those spicy matches going!
My office got the pepper pong set for Christmas, and have avid ping pong lovers on staff. We were all skeptical of the hype, but 3 ferocious games in we were absolutely hooked! We love how long the rallies last. We exclusively use the ghost pepper, and don’t really see a place for the other lesser peppers on our traditional Olympic size table, but excited to try them at home with our kids. Our content creation studio here in Austin, TX is all about “playing first”, and this fantastic game has invigorated us all with fresh playful energy to start the new year. As several team members are sober, we also appreciate the founder’s story. We are eager evangelists of PP as we genuinely want to help others through the healing power of play. As we look at our ideal clients in 2025, we’d love to put Pepper Pong on the roster. But beware, our pong persona names are as spicy as our competitive spirit! Consider yourself challenged!
This has to be one of the most epic reviews we’ve ever received—thank you, Jefe! 🔥 We love hearing how Pepper Pong has brought fresh energy and playful vibes to your office. The fact that it's now a staple in your content studio and helping kickstart the new year is incredible! Huge shoutout to your team for embracing the ghost pepper spirit—sounds like you’ve got some serious skills.
We’re also deeply touched by your connection to the founder’s story and your enthusiasm for spreading the healing power of play—it’s everything we hoped to inspire with Pepper Pong.
And as for your spicy pong personas and challenge… let’s just say we’re intrigued and might have to warm up for a Pepper Pong showdown! 😏 Keep playing, creating, and bringing the heat, Austin crew!
Got this game for Christmas and the boys love it!! Nice and quiet, except for the boys themselves!
Pajama Pepper Pong showdown! Yes, the balls are dead quiet ... we wish we could make that same guarantee for players :)
Our family gathering love to clear the dining room table and have games
Penny, we love the pic! We wouldn't want to challenge you guys to a game - the competition would be too fierce!!
