Penalty Challenge brings the intense, high-stakes drama of a soccer penalty shootout directly to your browser.

Controls

On Desktop: Use your mouse or trackpad. Click and drag from the ball towards the goal to set the direction, height, and power of your shot. When playing as the goalkeeper, click or tap the target indicator on the screen to dive and make a save.

On Mobile and Tablets: Use the touchscreen. Swipe from the ball toward the goal to shoot. When defending, tap the target indicator to control the goalkeeper's gloves and block the ball.

Tips for Success

• Mix up your shots: Do not kick to the same corner every time. Alternating between high, low, left, and right shots keeps the goalkeeper guessing.
• Watch the speed: Fast swipes create powerful shots that are harder to block, but they can easily miss the goal post if you lose control of your angle.
• Stay focused on defense: Wait for the red target indicator to appear before clicking or tapping. Diving too early or late will cause you to miss the ball.
