About

Ball Knowledge

Think you really know basketball? Prove it. Ball Knowledge is a daily guessing game where a mystery player hides behind a ladder of clues — and it's your job to name them in as few guesses as you can. HOW TO PLAY Each puzzle opens with a single clue and gets more specific with every miss: draft position, career averages, height and position, conference, college, jersey number, and finally their team. You get six guesses. Nail it on the first clue for a perfect score, or grind the clues down to the wire. EVERY GUESS COUNTS A wrong guess isn't a dead end — you'll see exactly which clues your player matched. Same draft year? Same conference? Right position? Use the hits to close in on the answer. TWO WAYS TO PLAY Daily — one puzzle a day, the same mystery player for everyone. Build a win streak and share your result Wordle-style, no spoilers. Practice — endless random players, anytime, zero pressure. Perfect for warming up or killing time. PLAY WITH FRIENDS Share your invite code and instantly become friends. Go head-to-head on the daily board and see who can hold the longest streak. LEADERBOARDS Compete with your friends or the entire world. Rank on both today's scores and longest active streaks — and see exactly where you land out of every player. TRACK YOUR GAME Current streak, best streak, total wins, and win percentage — all in one place. One puzzle a day. Six guesses. How deep is your ball knowledge? -- NOTE: This app is an independent trivia game and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or associated with any professional sports league or team.
