📘 How to Play Penalty Shootout

A shootout: you shoot first, then you keep. To shoot, tap any spot in the goal — the ball flies there while the keeper dives to a corner. If he picks the same zone, he saves it. As keeper, tap one of the six zones; if you pick the zone the shot goes to, you catch it. After five shots each, the side with more goals wins; a tie continues sudden-death. Every win raises the keeper level, and he guesses your corners better.

🧠 What it builds

This game targets guessing, decision-making and patience. Short, regular sessions (10-15 minutes a day) work better than one long sitting.

📱 Where it runs

Works in the browser on phone, tablet and desktop — no install, no sign-up. Turn the phone sideways and the layout rearranges itself, keeping every control finger-sized.

🎯 Who it is for

Designed for ages 5-12. Younger children can play with an adult, older ones on their own.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Why doesn't the ball go exactly where I tap?

Like a real penalty there is a small drift; a shot aimed very near the post can slide into the keeper's zone. The drift is small — corners are still the best choice.

Does the keeper read my mind?

The computer keeper guesses the correct zone 30% to 70% of the time depending on his level. Do not always shoot to the same corner; higher levels require variety.

Which zone should I pick as keeper?

The computer shooter picks a zone at random, so every zone has the same chance. In 2-player mode, learn your friend's habits — kids usually go top right.

In 2-player mode can the shooter hide the shot?

Yes. As soon as the shooter picks a spot the screen is covered by a "pass the phone" curtain; the keeper taps "I'm ready", picks a zone, and only then does the ball move.

What is the level and does it reset?

Every match won against the computer raises the keeper level by one (up to 6). The level is remembered on this device and does not drop when you lose.
