General

Gameplay

The player starts the map inside of the cue ball near the center of the table. From here, they must parkour and decide which path to take, often unable to return should they choose the wrong path. The parkour itself consists of many head-hitter jumps inside of the pool balls. If at any point the player falls, they must return to the start of the map through death or a short parkour at the back of the cue ball. The map ends at the eight ball, and players must input a code after they reach it.

Aesthetics

The map is made to resemble a large pool table, complete with a set of 9 pool balls. Colored wool is used to create most of the balls, but the 7-ball uses nether bricks instead. The felt of the pool table and holes are made out of green and black wool, respectively, but the trim of the table is made using spruce wood to represent the trim. Surrounding the pool table is a giant bar, several large pictures, and a window. The trim of the table uses both types of weighted pressure plates to represent the various markings on the table.

Challenges

This map is featured in three challenges: 2017 Assortment, The Path of Heroes, and Hexa.

Trivia

• Despite the room being massive, the only accessable area, and therefore the only area containing parkour, is the pool table.
