How does the pool work?

We’ve turned a centuries-old game into a whole new social experience. You’ll recognise the basics, but Poolhouse is built for socialising, with every table hosting up to 14 people at a time.

You’ll find 20 American pool tables with classic cues and traditional balls, just like you’d expect. The difference is what happens above the table. Hidden projectors beam interactive games directly onto the cloth, adding a new layer to the experience without changing the feel of pool.

Guests can choose from four game modes, designed for different playing styles and skill levels. Some games focus on precision - aiming, potting and scoring points for your team - while others keep things simple, where it’s more about taking part, like hitting the ball up and down the table and seeing who lands closest to the winning spot.

The built-in AI technology learns how you play and subtly adjusts the difficulty, making games easier or harder so everyone can enjoy themselves. The games are best enjoyed in groups, but anything from 2 to 14 players can play around one table.
