Question

I play this game with a tennis ball for added difficulty, does it have to be with a rubber ball all the time?

Community Answer

Any ball that can bounce on walls are fine, but your ordinary tennis ball is too small. Instead, try using a fast dodgeball.

Question

What are "rainbows?"

ZJ C

Community Answer

A rainbow is a shot performed by going under the ball before its first bounce. After going off the wall without touching the ball successfully, another player has to hit the ball. They’re also sometimes referred as underdogs or watermelons.

What happens if a thrown ball doesn't hit the wall in wall ball?

Community Answer

In games like wall ball, if a thrown ball doesn't hit the wall, it typically results in a penalty or loss of a turn, depending on the game's specific rules.

Question

Why is it called "wall ball"?

Community Answer

The term "wall ball" refers to games played with a ball against a wall, where players take turns hitting the ball and following specific rules or patterns. The name comes from the interaction of the ball with the wall. Rules and objectives can vary depending on the region or version, but the common element is the use of a ball and a wall.
