Basketball Park Support

Ten basketball challenges in a living park. Take a shot, follow the arc and build your best star ratings.

Start a challenge

Tap a numbered attraction on the map to select and animate it, then tap the small orange Play button beside its number to begin a 60-second round. Your chosen player and four animated friends gather near the selected attraction. The map remembers the last challenge actually played; first launch defaults to Park Court (1). Swipe up on the scene to shoot. Adjust swipe length for power and direction for aim. Tap L, C or R to move the shooter. Use Pause to resume, replay or return to the park.

Shooting help

Tap the circular i on the map or Help during a round for a replayable animated shooting coach. The dotted guide uses grey/light green for short shots, dark green for an on-target estimate, and red for excess power. Very tall previews are fitted on screen for readability. The guide does not guarantee a basket: rims, moving hoops, the train window frame and scenery can change the shot.

Stars and settings

Make 2, 4, 6, 8 or 10 baskets in one round to earn one through five stars. The map retains the best rating per challenge. Open the Settings gear to choose Maya, Leo, Zoe, Kai or Alex and toggle speech, sound effects and music independently. Settings and progress stay on your device; uninstalling can remove them. No cloud sync is provided.

Availability and purchases

Basketball Park has iPhone and Android editions. From version 1.3, challenges 1–6, Seattle/Phoenix/Cleveland themes and all five players are free. Challenges 7 Downstream, 8 Rocking Boat, 9 Park Express and 10 Sky Wheel, plus Boston/Miami/New York themes, are optional separate permanent purchases, each US $0.99 in the United States. There are no ads or subscriptions. Buy or restore through your platform store with an internet connection; no game account is needed. Gameplay works offline once access is available. Earlier versions may include different access.

Restore purchases

From version 1.3, open Settings and tap Restore purchases, or use Restore on an unlock screen. Use the Apple or Google Play account that purchased the item. A pending, cancelled or failed purchase does not unlock content. Each purchase unlocks only that item; it is not a bundle. For payment refunds, use the support flow for the store that processed the payment.

Round timer

The final five seconds show a pulsing countdown with sound alerts when Sound is enabled. At zero the results menu stays open. Choose Play again, Explore the park, Settings or Shooting help.

Play with friends — version 1.4

Select a challenge, then Play with friends. Two to four people can take 60-second turns on one phone, each with a different character. For online shootouts, all devices need version 1.4 (46) or later, internet and different signed-in Game Center accounts. Open Online on each device before inviting a friend. Each device has its own shooter and ball, with a shared challenge, clock and live scoreboard. The host’s challenge is used; every online participant must own a selected paid challenge. Choose free challenges 1–6 if anyone has not unlocked it. Online play cannot pause. Leaving or backgrounding during a round ends the match; disconnected or incomplete rounds do not award a winner. For an online rematch, leave and send a new invitation. Multiplayer does not overwrite solo stars or best scores.

Side-by-side duels — version 1.5

From Play with friends, choose Online duel · 2 to stand beside one friend with both shooters and basketballs visible. Both devices need version 1.5 (47) or later and separate Game Center accounts. The host shoots from the left lane and guest from the right. Both have 60 seconds and independent scores. Each device owns its shots; the other player’s balls are visual replicas, avoiding double scoring.

If your friend is unavailable, choose Play vs computer directly, in the online lobby or after a matchmaking error. This starts a new, explicitly labeled offline duel against a computer opponent using physical basketball shots. It supports pause, results and rematch. It does not silently replace a real player during a match. Solo stars and best scores remain separate. Regular online shootouts and pass-and-play remain available for two to four players.

Unified online play — version 1.6

Online with friends · 2–4 replaces the separate Online duel option. Everyone in a two-, three- or four-player online match shoots side by side with their own character, held ball and shot animation. Lanes stay in the same identifier order on every device. The camera adapts to group size; elevator framing keeps outside players visible as the lift moves. All devices need version 1.6 (48) or later. Play vs computer and same-phone pass-and-play remain available. The purchase and connection requirements above still apply.

Computer levels and setup — version 1.8

Play with friends opens with two players selected; choose 3 or 4 to add friends. Play vs computer opens Rookie, Skilled and Professional choices. Rookie shoots more slowly with wider aim, Skilled balances pace and precision, and Professional shoots faster with tighter aim and moving-rim prediction. Version 1.8 further improves Professional targeting at release. Starting saves the level locally; Rematch keeps it. Actual ball physics still decides baskets, so even Professional can miss. No additional purchase is required to choose a computer level; the selected challenge still needs to be free or owned.

Android online rooms and privacy

Android uses room codes, separately from iPhone Game Center. For ages 13 and older, choose Online with friends, create a room for two to four players and share its code privately. Friends choose Join and enter the code. Once connected, each player taps Ready. The room starts a synchronized 60-second round. Under-13 players can use solo, computer opponents and pass-and-play; a local neutral age screen runs before online play. No birth date is requested or transmitted. All ages can enjoy the offline challenges.

Open Settings, scroll to Privacy & online data, and use Read privacy policy or Delete anonymous online account. Delete requires a connection and confirmation. Stars, settings and store purchases are separate from the online account.
