TableSwish started in an unlikely place: the bathtub.

While giving his daughter a bath, Tyler started tossing one of her small, weighted bath balls into a little toy basketball hoop from about 6ft away. There was something surprisingly satisfying about the feel of the ball and the clean swish through the hoop. He kept playing—and it sparked a simple question:

Why isn't there a competitive basketball game built around this?

Tyler brought the idea to longtime friend Austin, and the two began turning that simple concept into what would eventually become TableSwish.

Founded in 2025 by Tyler and Austin—best friends and NC State grads—SwishGames LLC was created to bring TableSwish to life. Their goal was to build a portable basketball game that was easy to play literally anywhere, but still captured what makes shooting a basketball addictive: touch, accuracy, competition, and the satisfaction of a perfect swish.

The result is TableSwish—a portable, skill-based game that turns almost any table into a basketball court. Set it up at a tailgate, beach house, bar, backyard, or family game night and start shooting.

Today, we're refining TableSwish for production with a focus on quality, consistency, and making the final game feel every bit as satisfying as the idea that started it.

Basketball finally has a game built for the table.
