How to play

1

Read the path

Each card shows one player's real NHL career — every team they played for, in order, with the years.

2

Type the name

Full name or just the last name both work. Retry a card as many times as you want — a wrong guess won't end your run, but it does break your streak, so it pays to be sure before you submit.

3

Chain a streak

Each card is worth 100–220 points depending on how many teams that player suited up for — more stops, more points. Stack consecutive correct guesses for a streak bonus on top, +10 per guess up to +100.

4

Skip if stuck

Skipping reveals the answer and resets your streak. In Timed mode that's the only cost — skip freely and keep an eye on the clock. In Classic mode a skip also costs a strike — three strikes and the run ends.
