🎯 Press Your Luck – Air Hockey Scoreboard

A strategic, chaotic multiplayer scoring app for live group air hockey matches

PYL Logo


⚡ Overview

Press Your Luck (PYL) is a triangular scoring system built for air hockey tournaments and group night mayhem.
Players take turns on offense, facing defenders one at a time. After each goal?
You can cash out your points or... PRESS YOUR LUCK.

One miss? You lose everything that round.
Resign early? You lock your score — but were you a coward or a genius?
