COMPANION APP · HOOK & RING / BATTLE HOOKS

Best of 3
Every game counted
6 modes, 1 phone
Classic to Golf - plus Safe Cracker co-op.
MODES
Six new games for the one you have
The swing, the hook, the tap - none of it changes. What a hook counts - pegs, points, seconds, strokes, digits - is up to the mode.
Classic
The original. Push the peg off your opponent's end of the track.
Race
First to the target. Pure sprint - no peg, no mercy.
Minute to Win It!
Most hooks while the clock runs. Tied at zero? Playoff.
HOLD!
Every hook steals possession. First to fill your clock wins.
Safe Cracker
Co-op. Crack the code together before the time-lock runs out.
Golf
Fewest swings over 9 holes. Honest card, ruthless friends.
THE UPGRADE
One set. Two different nights.
WITHOUT HO●KY
- One game. That's the whole box.
- A peg you can nudge with an elbow
- Count in your head and hope
- No clock, no code, no scorecard
- Match tally: whoever remembers
WITH HO●KY
- Up to 6 more games you never saw coming
- HOLD! - keep-away, except the thing you're keeping is time
- SAFE CRACKER - call a truce: it's you two against the lock and clock!
- GOLF - the back nine, but the club is a ring on a string
- MINUTE TO WIN IT! - how many ringers can you land in 60 seconds?
- A match tally so you can go best of 3/5/7!
HOW IT WORKS
Phone down. Game on.
1. Phone on the table
It sits between you while you play. You each have your own view!
2. Tap your side
Land a hook, tap your side. One tap = one hook, and both players can tap at the same time.
3. The mode does the rest
Pegs slide, clocks run, cards fill in, codes crack. You land the ringers, HO●KY tracks the scores!
RAIL MODE
Not every game is face-to-face.
The long-string version mounts the hook on a wall - Ringing the Bull, Bimini, Tiki Toss, whatever you call it - and you stand shoulder to shoulder at the rail, not across a table. Rail mode turns everything to one edge: scores, clocks, and cards all read your way, both zones a thumb's reach apart.
Prop the phone on the rail, lean it on the deck post, or lay it on a table - every game mode has a sideways view. Race to 21, play a round of golf, crack the safe - while everyone watches the scoreboard!
