About Hoopl

The daily NBA trivia game for people with real ball knowledge.

Hoopl (hoopl.io, also Can You Hoop?) is a free basketball quiz with new questions every day. Each question asks you to name an answer that fits, usually a player. Anyone can name the superstar. The more obscure your answer, the deeper the shot and the more points it's worth.

How to play

Every day has four questions, then a free-throw round.
You get one answer per question and 24 seconds on the shot clock.
A wrong answer or an empty clock is a miss: an Airball, a Brick or a Shot Clock Violation.
Free throws: name as many answers as you can in 30 seconds. The more you name, the more it's worth.
A new game comes out every night at midnight New York time, the same questions for everyone.

The shots

A right answer is a make. How far out you shoot from depends on how deep a cut it is:

LayupAt the rim. The answer everybody says.+30

MiddyA solid pull from midrange.+50

Corner ThreeFrom the corner. Not many people go there.+100

Logo ThreeFrom the logo. Deep ball knowledge.+150

Buzzer BeaterFrom the backcourt. Nobody else said that.+200

Your day ends with a rating, from Bench Warmer to Rotation Player, Starter, All-Star and Hall of Famer, and a result you can share with your friends.

Unlimited

One game a day not enough? Unlimited gives you as many games as you want, in two levels: Hooper, a bit of everything, and EBK, Elite Ball Knowledge, for the deepest cuts. It's a one-time $4.99, no subscription.

The Locker

Pick the ball you shoot with. Sign in for free and you get the FIBA ball, plus free spins for new balls as you keep coming back. More balls are in the shop, from $0.99.

Questions

Is Hoopl free? Yes. The daily game is free and you don't need an account to play.

Why sign in? Your streak, your past games and your balls follow you to any phone or computer. You can sign in with Google or with a code we email you.

What kind of questions? Teammates, draft classes, award winners, champions, Olympians, 50-point games, triple-doubles and more, from the 1950s to today.

Is it like Wordle? In one way: there's one game a day and everyone gets the same one. But there's no single right answer, and the less obvious answers score more.

Is Hoopl part of the NBA? No. Hoopl is an independent fan game, not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by the NBA, any team or any player.
