Punch
A pad lights up
Hit it with the glove on that side before its ring closes. Faster punches score more.
Shadowbox Game
The boxing game you play with your real fists. Prop up your phone, step back and box a robot coach: punch the pads as they light up, slip the overhand, duck the hook.
Free on iPhone and Android.
No gloves needed.
How to play the Shadowbox game
Lean your phone against something at chest height and step back until your upper body fits on screen. The front camera follows your hands and your head, so every hit and every dodge is one you really throw.
Power punch
The gold mitt shows up
Throw a straight punch at the camera. From round 2 the coach holds a gold mitt in front of your chest.
Slip
A glove winds up above you
Lean or step to one side. A clean slip opens a counter pad worth extra points.
Duck
A glove swings in from the side
Drop under it. Three tags and it's a knockout, so keep your head moving.
Three rounds, twenty seconds each
You start with three guards and lose one every time a swing tags you. Chain clean hits for a multiplier: ×2 at 5 hits, ×3 at 15, ×4 at 30.
Round 1: Find your rhythm
Pads on both sides and the odd overhand to slip. Chain clean hits into a combo.
Round 2: The hook comes in
The gold power mitt appears, swings come from the side too, and every slip opens a counter.
Round 3: No time to breathe
Pads close faster, swings come more often and the coach starts throwing doubles.
Box your friends
Online, everyone gets the same pads and the same swings, so the fastest hands win. Jump into a live race of up to five players, or send a friend a code for a one-on-one duel.

Shadowbox game FAQ
What is the Shadowbox game?
Shadowbox is a shadow boxing game for iPhone and Android. You prop your phone up, step back and box a toy robot coach: punch the pads as they light up, slip the overhand and duck the hook. The front camera tracks your hands and head, so there's no controller and nothing to hold.
Is the Shadowbox game free?
Yes. It's free to download on the App Store and Google Play, with no ads. Some glove styles are unlocked by playing and some are part of an optional upgrade on iPhone.
Do I need boxing gloves or any equipment?
No. Your bare fists are the gloves. All you need is your phone, something to lean it against and enough space to throw a punch.
Does the camera record me?
No. The tracking runs on your phone. Camera frames are never saved or uploaded; only your display name and scores reach the leaderboard.
Is it on Android or in a web browser?
Android, yes. Shadowbox is free on Google Play as well as the App Store. There's no web browser version.
Can I box against my friends?
Yes. Jump into an online race of up to five players who all get the same pads and swings, or send a friend a code for a one-on-one duel. Highest score wins.
Is this the shadowbox pointing game from TikTok?
No. The TikTok shadowbox game is a face-to-face pointing game you play with a friend and no app. Our Shadowbox game is a boxing game where you actually throw punches. The rules for the pointing game are on our how-to-play page.
Is shadow boxing a good workout?
It gets you moving: three 20-second rounds of punching, slipping and ducking will get your heart rate up. It's a game first, though, not a training program.
