Basketball
Five shots a day at a moving hoop. A dead-centre swish pays best; an airball still pays something.

Basketball is a single shot at a moving hoop, and how much you earn depends on how close to the centre of the rim the ball goes through. Unlike most games here you are not playing a round — each shot is one of your daily plays.
Where to find it
Play at Basketball in the Games hub.
What you earn
| Shot | Pays |
|---|---|
| Swish — dead centre | Best rate, boosted by half again |
| Clean — through the rim | Full rate |
| Rim — scraped in | Three quarters rate |
| Airball | A quarter rate |
A swish is worth roughly six times an airball. Every shot pays at least 5 MPC, so a bad attempt is never worth nothing. Coin boosts and your active pet's happiness are applied on top of whatever you earn.
Plays and your pet
- You get 5 shots a day, reset at midnight MPT. VIP members get 7.
- Your active pet earns 15 XP and +5 happiness per shot.
Good habits
- Wait for the hoop. It moves on a predictable path — releasing at the turn is easier than tracking it across.
- Centre, not just in. The gap between a swish and a scrape is bigger than the gap between a scrape and a miss.
Basketball has no all-time trophy in The Trophy Case: too many players already shoot a perfect card, so the record could never change hands.
