Minigolf
Nine holes of putting, with walls, sand, water and slopes.
Minigolf over nine holes, played with your finger. Pull back from the ball like a slingshot and let go: the further you pull, the harder you putt. The ball bounces off walls, slows in sand, drifts on slopes, and water costs you a stroke. Every hole has a par, and the aim is to finish the course in as few strokes as you can.

How to play
Put your finger anywhere on the course and pull back, away from where you want the ball to go; the line shows where and how hard you will putt. Let go to putt. The ball only drops if it reaches the cup slowly; too fast and it rolls over. Walls send it back, sand slows it, the arrows on slopes show which way it drifts, and water adds a stroke and puts you back where you putted from. After eight strokes on a hole, you move on. Your score is the total of strokes, fewer is better.
What is Minigolf?
Minigolf is golf in miniature: a course of nine holes, each with walls, obstacles and a flagged cup. Here you play with your finger: pull back from the ball like a slingshot and let go, and the ball rolls, bounces and, if it reaches the cup slowly, drops in.
Every hole has a par, the strokes a good player needs for it. The course is a par 24, and the aim is to get round in as few strokes as you can.
How to play
Put your finger anywhere on the course and pull back, away from where you want the ball to go, then let go.
- Power. The further you pull, the harder you putt; the aiming line grows longer and warmer. The ball only drops if it reaches the cup slowly.
- The ground. Walls send the ball back, sand slows it, and on slopes the arrows show which way it drifts.
- Water. A ball in the water costs you an extra stroke and goes back to where you putted from.
- Score. Your score is the total of strokes over the nine holes. After eight strokes on a hole, you move on with eight.
Strategy tips
- Putt softer than you think. The ball has to arrive slowly to drop; a putt that is too firm rolls over the cup.
- Use the walls. Where there is no straight line, a bounce off a wall takes you round the corner.
- Aim up the slope. On slopes, send the ball a little above the cup and let it drift down to it.
- Go round the sand. Sand slows the ball a lot; the longer way on grass often works out better.
- Lag it close, then hole it. On the hard holes, a safe putt near the cup beats a risky try.
FAQ
Is Minigolf free to play?

It was going too fast. The ball only drops when it reaches the cup slowly.
What happens in the water?
