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.

Started a new IRL YouTube channel called Starting Studios.
Been a dream of mine for years to tell stories centered around fans and nostalgia.

JUST IN TIME FOR NFL SZN
A few months ago I made a daily NBA game called Starting 5. It's been played over 1M times now, which still feels unreal.
Recently, I launched the NFL version: Starting 11.
Every day you get a random team from NFL history and you have to remember who started: QB/RB/WRs/TE
Today is the 2024 Washington Commanders.
(If you're a football sicko you can choose hard mode and guess the o-line too)
You get 5 guesses. First one's blind, then you unlock hints as you go. A perfect score is 1000.
If you grew up watching the NFL and want to dig up nostalgic memories of players/teams you almost forgot you remember, this game is for you.
Link below to play.
Would love for you to try it and let me know if you have any feedback.
I hope you enjoy playing as much as I do!

I’m so excited to announce the launch of Starting 11. The NFL version of Starting 5.
This has been highly requested since we launched back in May and it’s finally here right in time for football season! 👀
Can Nolan from @strictly_tweets name the Starting 5 from the 2020-21 Milwaukee Bucks?
On May 27th I launched Starting 5:
a daily game where you get a random team from NBA history and have to name all 5 starters. (it's way harder than you think)
I was over the moon when 4,500 people played the first week.
223,000 plays later, I think NBA fans might have a problem. I am completely and utterly humbled.
I am in this for the long haul, committed to Starting Studios becoming the daily ritual for the average sports fan.
What should we add next?
if you haven't played the LeBronlet yet, you're missing out 👀
