How To Play

Connect Four Hoops

The Rules:

PLAYERS: SINGLE (you vs computer) or MULTIPLAYER (2 players) 

HOW TO WIN: The goal is to arrange four of your basketballs in a line —horizontally, vertically, or diagonally, just like the classic Connect 4 game. The first player to “Connect 4” wins!.

HOW TO PLAY:

Step 1 – Tap your Powercard on the card reader

Single Player 

  • Tap on the card reader. If you want to play against the computer, pick up a ball and start shooting. 

Two Player 

  • Tap on the first card reader: 

  • The screen will then tell you it’s waiting for the other colour to tap in: 

  • Tap on the other card reader to play against a friend 

Step 2 - Game Starts 

The machine will then announce who’s turn it is both on the screen and with a voice “Yellow Player Shoot” 

Pickup a ball and throw it through a hoop. If you miss keep trying until you get it.

Step 3: Connect 4 

Keep shooting hoops turn by turn until someone connects four!

Pro Tips:

  • Try to minimise the bounce on the backboard and avoid the ceiling so the ball goes in the basket you are aiming for 
  • The machine might tell you to hurry up but there is no time limit, take your time and be accurate 

  • If your opponent has 3 in a row, block them! You don’t want them getting 4 first.
