Basketball Blind Ranking — play it with your friends
Five basketball players, one at a time. Rank each one before you see the next, and no moving. Free for up to 4, on your own phones.

How do you play Basketball Blind Ranking?
You rank five basketball players from 1 to 5, one at a time, without knowing who comes next. Once a player is placed, he stays.
- Send the link. One of you starts a game and shares the link or the 4-letter code. You need at least two players, and it is free for up to 4.
- A theme appears. Five point guards, five centers, five legends or five of today's stars.
- Place each player. You get 15 seconds to put him on a free spot. Everyone ranks the same five on their own phone.
- Compare. Everyone's lists become the group's ranking. Same spot as the group: 2 points. One spot off: 1.
A game is three rounds, about five minutes. The best mind reader wins, and the hottest takes get named.
Can your stream chat play along?
Yes. Pick "I'm streaming" when you start. On Twitch, chat votes with !1 to !5 for every player. On YouTube or TikTok, viewers vote on the play-along link. Chat gets its own ranking on screen, next to yours.
Then put a price on them: the basketball auction
Same group, same basketball players, more at stake. Basketball draft game
- Create a game and send the link. Drop the link in the group chat before tip-off. Everyone joins on their own phone, so it works at the watch party and from different cities.
- Bid on one basketball player at a time. Point guards, wings and centers go under the hammer one by one, legends from as far back as 1957 next to players from this season. A big man can go for 30M if two of you need a center.
- Choose how your five line up. The game is played quarter by quarter, basket by basket. A close one goes to overtime, and the stronger five always wins it.
More basketball games for the same group
- The live auction. Everyone gets 100M and bids for the same basketball players. Build the stronger starting five and win.
- Guess the player. Six clues about a mystery basketball player, one at a time. Name them first — a wrong guess hands everyone else the point.
- This or That. Two basketball players, same position, same era. One of you picks in secret, the rest guess which.
- Imposter. Everyone gets the same basketball player except one bluffer. One word each, then vote.
- Charades. Act out a secret basketball player without talking. Whoever shouts the name first scores.
Why basketball fans keep playing Blind Ranking
- A basketball tip. Do not spend your number 1 on the first legend you see. With five point guards, the best one often comes last.
- You never see who is next. Put a basketball player on number 1 and the greatest of all time might show up next. That is the whole fun.
- You score by reading the group. Same spot as the group: 2 points. One spot off: 1. The best mind reader wins, not the loudest.
- A theme every round. Five basketball players from the same position, all legends or today's stars, so the debate is fair.
- Made for streams. In creator mode your chat votes on every spot with !1 to !5 and gets its own ranking on screen.
- No ads. Ever. Five names, five spots, one argument.
