Questions

Do I need an account?

No. Pick a nickname the first time you post a score. It is remembered on this device with a cookie and works across all three games.

What if I clear my cookies or switch phones?

When you pick a nickname you get a recovery code that looks like HOOP-XXXX-XX. Enter it from the nickname box on any game to bring back your streak and scores.

What am I playing for?

Bragging rights. Every game has a daily, weekly and all-time leaderboard, so you can top today's board, own the week or get your nickname onto the all-time list for good. Share your result with your group chat and see who really knows ball. There are no cash prizes, purchases or deposits: it is free and just for the glory.

When do the daily games reset?

Mystery Player and the Buzzer Beater leaderboard reset at midnight UTC. Daily Pick Streak follows the NBA day in US Eastern time, and each pick locks at tip-off.

Free to play. No purchase, deposit or prize. Nicknames are public on the leaderboards, so please do not use your real name. Read our privacy policy and responsible gaming page.
