HOW TO PLAY
Score 60 before three strikes.
Name the moments the internet remembers, reveal the Top 8, and keep climbing toward a perfect 100.
The objective
Every daily category has a hidden Top 8 worth exactly 100 points. Score at least 60 before your third strike to pass.
Study the category
Each puzzle asks for specific moments or performances connected to one basketball category. The category artwork sets the scene without revealing the answers. Press Start Playing to begin; simply opening the page does not start your game.
Name a moment
Exact wording is not required. A correct match flips its panel and adds its points. A wrong or off-board answer adds one strike.
Get help without losing a guess
Broad, ambiguous, duplicate, and empty answers do not add strikes. The game asks for clarification when it can safely help.
Reach 60 to pass
Your game continues until you clear the board, earn a third strike, or choose to finish. Reaching 60 counts as a successful day and keeps your streak alive.
🔥 Enter Heat Check
As soon as you reach 60, Heat Check begins. Keep guessing for a perfect 100, but your existing strikes remain and the third strike still ends the game.
Review and share
The results show your score, performance tier, answers found, strikes, achievements, and streak. Sharing stays spoiler-free.
