Once our team has set the game up and switched it on, all that is left to do is throw a ball into the hoop to activate the game. A timer will count down from 3, and then the game commences! Each player must score as many points as possible by successfully throwing balls into the hoop directly in front of them. The sensors at the back of the hoops count the score, which is displayed on the digital screen in the middle of the backboard.
When the timer hits the final 10 seconds, the intensity ramps up as every basket becomes worth three points. This thrilling twist can completely turn the game on its head, giving players the chance to catch up or storm into the lead in a last-second surge. This addictive challenge leaves players desperate to beat their previous score/the high score.
