Starting 5

Five players. Five guesses. One daily lineup. | Made by @matt_throne

Can you remember the Starting 5?

[Starting 5 @PlayStarting5]

A little over a week ago I made a daily NBA game called Starting 5.

Every day you get a random team from NBA history and you have to remember it’s 5 starters.

You get 5 guesses.

First one’s blind, then you unlock hints as you go. A perfect score is 1000.

Over 4,500 people have played so far which is wild to me.

If you grew up watching this league you’ll get way too into it.

Have you tried it yet?

Working on some new features soon like “play yesterday’s puzzle” and a hard mode.

14,456 people played Starting 5 yesterday.

That's wild & humbling to type out.

What would make it your daily NBA ritual?
What do you want me to build next?

Tell me everything.
Best ideas get built tonight.

@w2truong Thank you!! My goal is to make this a part of your daily ritual as a sports fan.

Will continue to take any and all ideas to make the experience better and more nostalgic

Shipped a bunch of new features this morning.

You can now play the entire Starting 5 Archive.

All you need to do is create a free account and you can play all 9 previous days.

You can play yesterday's puzzle as a guest.

And I created a Leaderboard sorted by Weekly, Monthly and All-Time.

Hope you all enjoy!

@roundmoundnoreb Yes I’m developing a hard mode and potentially a gauntlet where it’s 5 random teams (less prominent) and you get a weighted average score of 1000
