Bonkzone
A free multiplayer wrecking-ball pet game you play in your browser
In Bonkzone you pick a pet that swings a wrecking ball on a chain. Smash crates for scrap to grow you, your ball and your chain together, wind the ball up by reeling it in, then smash it toward other pets. A ball only bonks when it is moving fast. Each round lasts 2 minutes and the most bonks wins; get bonked and you are back a few seconds later. There is nothing to download and nothing to sign up for.
Play Bonkzone now on a laptop, Chromebook, desktop, tablet or phone.
How to play
- Most bonks in 2 minutes wins the round. Get bonked and you are back in a few seconds, somewhere else in the same arena.
- Move with WASD or the arrow keys. Aim with your mouse. On a phone: left stick moves, the SMASH stick aims.
- Hold to reel your ball in and wind it up. Let go to smash it toward your aim. A red rim means it is fast enough to bonk.
- Smash crates for scrap. Scrap makes you, your ball and your chain bigger together.
Controls
- Keyboard: WASD or the arrow keys move your pet. Space is your button.
- Mouse or trackpad: point to aim, click for your button. Moving the mouse never moves your pet.
- Touch: your left thumb moves (anywhere on the left side), the stick on the right aims and attacks. On phones the match plays sideways.
Tips
- Rounds last 2 minutes. Bonks are all that count.
- Hold to wind your ball up, then let go: it smashes toward your mouse.
- A red rim on your ball means it can bonk. Slow balls just bump.
- Crates are free scrap. A bigger ball reaches further.

Styles, coins and the daily spin
Your ball style changes the look of your wrecking ball. Styles are looks only: they never make you stronger or faster.

|---|---|
| Moonstone | Free |
| Neon | 250 coins |
| Candy | 250 coins |
| Lava | 500 coins |
| Toxic | 500 coins |

- Coins come from playing. A round pays for your time in it, a bonus for finishing in the top three (up to 20 coins), and each bonk (4 coins) and assist (2 coins). Less than 10 seconds in a round doesn't pay.
- One free daily spin pays 20 to 300 coins. The chances of each prize are shown in the game.
- Nothing to buy. Coins and spins can't be bought with money.
Skill challenges and pet mastery
Finish rounds to climb knockout, survival and podium challenges. Each has three milestones that pay coins. Complete a challenge to earn an exclusive knockout effect, trail or banner. Podium milestones need at least one knockout, and leaving a round early does not count.
Each pet also earns its own mastery XP as you play it. Stars lead to a victory pose, a glow in matches, then your name in the pet's colour. The lobby and results show your next goal. These rewards change your look, never your combat power.
For parents and teachers
- Free, with no sign-up. Players type a nickname or roll a random one. We don't ask for names, emails or birthdays.
- Chat only in friend lobbies. PLAY WITH FRIENDS makes a lobby with a code, and only the people in that lobby can chat with each other (also during a match). Everyone else in an arena can only send emote stickers. Lobby chat isn't word-filtered: the host can turn it off or remove people, and anyone can mute another player. Messages aren't stored. Nicknames go through a filter, and blocked names are replaced with a random one.
- Progress stays on the device. Level, coins, styles and stats are saved in the browser, not on our servers.
- Ads. There are no ads on this website right now. If we add them, they will be non-personalized and marked as directed to children, never shown during a match, and video rewards will always be optional. Our Privacy Policy explains the details.
- Made for school Chromebooks. It runs in the browser on low-powered laptops, works with a trackpad, and doesn't need any installs or downloads.
- Short rounds. A round lasts 2 minutes, so it's easy to stop between rounds.
Questions
Is Bonkzone free?
Yes. Everything in the game can be played for free.
Do I need an account?
No. Press PLAY and you're in. Your progress is saved on the device you play on.
Can I play with a friend?
Yes. In a match, press INVITE to copy a link to your arena and send it to your friend. When they open it, they join the same arena if there's room.
What if my internet drops?
The game reconnects by itself. If you're back within about 20 seconds, you keep your place in the round.
Can I play without the internet?
Not online play, but PRACTICE in the lobby starts a match that runs on your own device, so it keeps going on a weak connection once the game has loaded.
