Smart Shot
Earn your playing time
Answer questions to earn time on the shot clock, then sink baskets against an AI opponent. Miss a question? You'll see it again in overtime, turning mistakes into extra practice.
What makes it special
Knowledge drives gameplay
Physics-Based Shooting
Realistic ball physics with gravity, velocity, backspin, and rim collisions. Dynamic hoop movement adds challenge.
Earned Shot Clock
Correct answers earn more time to shoot. Answering correctly isn't a pause, it's the engine that drives gameplay.
Overtime Review
Missed questions return in overtime, turning mistakes into additional practice opportunities.
Quarter-Based Play
Four quarters of quiz rounds followed by basketball shooting. Missed questions return in overtime for extra practice.
