Starting a conversation with a stranger is hard. Chpong removes the hard part.

You play Pong with a stranger online. Every time the ball hits your paddle, the game pauses — and you must write something. Anything. You have 30 seconds. Then the ball comes back.

The conversation starts before you decide to have one.

 ────────────────────────────────

  NOT YOUR USUAL RANDOM CHAT

  → Text-only. No webcam, no microphone, no jerkers-off.

  → Mandatory reply. You can't skip the other person.

  → No score. Winning is not the point — talking is.

  → Ephemeral. Nothing is saved. No logs, no history.

  ────────────────────────────────

  WHY PONG?

  Because you need something to do while your guard drops.

  The game solves the opener problem: you're already playing, already committed,

  already typing something — before you've decided to have a conversation.

  Spontaneity happens because there's no pressure to perform.

  ────────────────────────────────

  Free. Runs in the browser. No account needed. Open source.

  Find a stranger. Play a round. See what happens.
