Pepper Pong

Pepper Pong

Pepper Pong, launched in late 2023, is the fast-growing social sport hailed as "The Next Pickleball" by the New York Post and featured on Shark Tank. Dubbed "The Spicy Sensation Sweeping the Nation," it fosters connection and combats isolation through fun, accessible gameplay. Founded by Tom Filippini after achieving sobriety in 2016, Pepper Pong is more than a game—it's a movement promoting community and mental well-being.
