What is Christmas ComBall?
Christmas ComBall is a branded game that plays like a pool table crossed with a matching puzzle. Players pull back on a slingshot to launch a ball from the bottom of the table. When it touches a ball of the same color, the two combine into one new ball and score points.
Each round starts with a meter of 15 balls. Every shot uses one, and every match gives one back. A player who keeps matching keeps playing. A player who keeps missing runs the meter dry.
It looks like the holidays: a red lacquer table with candy-cane trim, garland lights, icy snowflake felt and festive music on bells. Your logo and campaign message go on the menu, and players finish with an optional name and email form and a top-10 leaderboard.
Six ball colors, each with its own emblem: star, tree, snowflake, bell, heart and gift.
Why Christmas ComBall works at holiday events
A holiday booth or campaign game needs to be quick to learn, fun to repeat and simple to run. Here is how ComBall does that.
Fewer easy shots as it goes
The game starts friendly. Over the first 10 shots it offers fewer clean angles, so players start banking shots, planning ahead and using SWAP.
Combos and power-ups keep rounds alive
Matches within 3.5 seconds of each other build a combo up to x3. Every second step of a combo refills a SHAKE or SWAP charge. SHAKE moves every ball on the table, and SWAP changes the ball in the player's hand.
A name, an email and a top-10 leaderboard
After a round, players can enter a name and email and see where they rank. That gives them a reason to replay. Connect the form to your leaderboard service and the entries come to you.
How to play Christmas ComBall in three steps
-
Pull back
Press anywhere and drag back. The ball flies the opposite way, and a dotted preview shows its path and its first bounce off the rail.
-
Release to shoot
Let go to launch. A longer pull means a harder shot. Every shot uses one of your 15 balls.
-
Match colors
When two balls of the same color touch, they combine, score points and give you a ball back. Keep matching to keep playing.

Christmas ComBall: your questions answered
How does a round of Christmas ComBall end?
Players start with 15 balls and every shot uses one. Every match gives one ball back. When the last ball is shot, the game runs a five-second final check. A match in that window restores a ball and play continues. If nothing matches, the round ends and the result screen shows the score.
Can people play Christmas ComBall on a phone?
Yes. The game runs in the browser and plays in portrait on phones, with touch to aim and shoot. On desktop, the same portrait game sits in the center of the screen inside a festive frame, and players use the mouse. There is no app to download.
Can Christmas ComBall collect leads?
After a round, players see a short form for their name and email. They can submit it or skip it, and then they see a top-10 leaderboard. The form can be connected to your own leaderboard service so entries reach you, and you supply the privacy and consent wording.
