Knox

Step into the nostalgic world of Knox, a digital reimagining of the classic playground game, Marbles. Born from fond childhood memories of lunchtimes spent on the tarmac, this experience captures the spirit and fun of those classic contests for a new generation. Your objective is simple, yet challenging: use skill and precision to knock all the red balls out of the circle while ensuring the prized white ball stays safely inside the arena. Good luck!

Getting Started is Easy

Jump right into the action! Click ‘Play’ to start a real game and aim for the top of the leaderboards, or select ‘Training’ to practice and refine your techniques in a pressure-free environment.

Setting Up The Players

Knox is perfect for both solo and social play.

• Choose up to 4 players for a lively multiplayer match or practice alone to post your personal best.
• To add a player, simply click on an unused slot and type in a new name.
• To remove a player, just click on the red tick button next to their name.

Configuring Your Game

Customise your challenge to suit your style.

• Field Size: Select from three distinct playing areas: Small, Medium, or Large. Each size offers a different strategic challenge.
• Ball Rack: Like pool, but better! Choose from a variety of racks, each with unique shapes and quantities of balls. Every rack has its own high score to chase.
• Game Session: Battle your friends over a chosen number of games, or just play a single game when going solo. Your highest score across all games is remembered for you to post when you claim victory.

A Spot Of Training

Master the art of Knox with five dedicated training modes designed to sharpen your skills. Hone your shot sensitivity, perfect your understanding of angles and deflection, and then put it all to the test in the ultimate skill challenge: The Big Breakout! Remember, practice makes perfect... but the most important thing is to have fun on your journey to becoming a Knox master.

Playing The Game

The outer solid red line marks the boundary of the pitch. A shot is successful when a red ball completely crosses this line and the white ball remains inside.

• To Rotate the View: Hold down the mouse button and move the mouse pointer left or right.
• To Zoom In and Out: Hold down the mouse button and move the mouse pointer up or down.
• To Shoot: Move your cursor over the white ball, press and hold the mouse button. Drag the cursor away from the ball in the direction you wish to shoot—a short drag for less power, a long drag for more power. Release the button to take your shot.

Score big by knocking out multiple red balls in a single shot! The scoring is accumulative, rewarding skill and power with a bonus for each subsequent ball: 10 points for the first, 12 for the second, 14 for the third, and so on.
