Our Story

Planet Pong is founded by UW Madison alumni Emik Vayts. He built the original Planet Pong machine after his freshmen year of college, and has been developing better iterations of the product ever since. The original idea was to build a self-training device to get better at cup pong at college parties. However, the application of Planet Pong has extended to:

• Helping people with cognitive and physical disabilities train their hand-eye coordination
• Improving focus and concentration with a game that doesn’t rely on screen usage
• Providing a healthy source of entertainment at work, family, and social events

Support

Planet Pong would not be possible without support from UW Madison, friends who support the idea, and people who play our game. If you would like to help support us and our mission, simply following us on Instagram, TikTok, or YouTube means a lot and shows us that you care!
