How to Play
• Limit play to five (5) minutes. Museum staff may shorten the time of play at its discretion due to, among other things, busiest times.

• Serve to any player; play may move around the table or across the pond.
• The central pond replaces the net and is part of the game.
• Please avoid the ping-pong ball falling into the water. If it does, please refrain from reaching for the ball, as staff will be there to retrieve it.
• Please do not play with a wet ping pong ball. Ask a museum staff member for a dry one to continue playing.

Note: These are suggested instructions. The game has no set game instructions. Visitors can make up their own scoring system, or adopt a simple, intuitive system. The artist would like the viewer to create their own experience.
