Social Hoops
Electronic basketball shooting game with an LED hoop and live digital scoreboard. Timed rounds, head-to-head competition, and full tournament support. A crowd magnet at mitzvahs, corporate events, and galas.
What It Is
Social Hoops is an electronic basketball shooting game with an LED-lit backboard and hoop, a live digital scoreboard, and multiple competitive play modes. Players take timed shots during a countdown round, and every basket registers instantly on the scoreboard for all to see.
The LED lighting and visible scoring make Social Hoops a station that creates its own crowd. Guests who are not actively playing gather behind the shooting line to watch, cheer, and wait for their turn. This crowd-gathering effect is what separates a good game station from one that just fills space.
The head-to-head competition mode lets two players shoot simultaneously from their own positions, with both scores tracked in real time until the timer runs out. For groups that want structured competition, our attendant runs a tournament bracket that turns a simple game into an event-within-the-event. It works beautifully for corporate team-building and for mitzvah social hours where organized competition drives the energy.
Where It Works
A natural high-energy station for mitzvahs and corporate events. Works across all age groups and creates its own crowd regardless of where it is placed in the venue.
How Long It Runs
Social Hoops is available for cocktail hour, the full reception, or all-event. The timed-round format creates natural player rotation, so the station remains active as long as guests are interested. For tournament formats, we recommend a minimum of 90 minutes to allow a full bracket to run at standard event guest counts.
What's Included
Every booking includes the full game unit, on-site attendant, tournament support if requested, and complete logistics from delivery through breakdown.
LED-Lit Electronic Hoop
The backboard and hoop are LED-lit, which creates a strong visual presence in any venue environment. The light draws guests in from across the room before they know what the game is.

Every basket registers immediately on the digital scoreboard display. The real-time score creates the competitive tension that keeps players focused and the crowd watching.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about adding Social Hoops to your event.
What are the play modes on Social Hoops?
Social Hoops supports single-player timed rounds where the goal is to score as many baskets as possible within the time limit, and head-to-head two-player competition where both players shoot simultaneously and the highest score wins. Both modes display scores live on the digital scoreboard, which keeps the crowd engaged.
What age group does Social Hoops work best for?
Social Hoops works for guests of all ages. At mitzvahs, it is a top draw for 12 to 16-year-olds and holds the attention of adult guests too, particularly those with any interest in basketball. The head-to-head competition mode is especially popular with adults at corporate events, where a friendly shootout becomes a memorable team moment.
Does Social Hoops require a large space?
The Social Hoops unit is self-contained and fits within a footprint of approximately 8 by 5 feet. It does not require the ceiling height of a full-size basketball setup. We confirm exact placement with your venue during booking to ensure guests have enough room to shoot comfortably and a small crowd can gather behind the shooting line.
Can we run a tournament with Social Hoops?
Yes. Our attendant can run a single-elimination or round-robin tournament using the head-to-head competition mode. The digital scoreboard makes bracket tracking transparent and drives crowd excitement around each matchup. Tournament formats work especially well for corporate team-building and mitzvah social hours.
Is Social Hoops available for outdoor events?
Social Hoops can be set up for outdoor events with a covered or tented area to protect the electronics. We confirm outdoor suitability during booking based on your specific venue and weather conditions. Standard indoor setup is the default.
