← 54321.WIN · THE CHALLENGE

What is the 5·4·3·2·WIN challenge?

One 60-second run. Fifteen shots. All consecutive. No do-overs. That's the whole challenge — simple to say, brutally hard to do, and open to anyone with a ball and a hoop.

The 15-shot ladder

You climb the ladder in order: five layups, four free throws, three college three-pointers, two NBA three-pointers, and finally one shot from half-court. Miss anywhere and the run is over — restart from the first layup on your next attempt.

The rules in plain English

1. 60 seconds. All 15 makes must happen before the clock hits zero.
2. Consecutive. A miss ends the run. There are no do-overs inside a run.
3. Unlimited attempts. Win on your first try or your 10,000th — every attempt counts the same.
4. Play anywhere. A driveway, a park, a school gym — the challenge travels.
5. Five divisions. Adult, College, High School, Middle, and 10 & Under — everyone competes at their own level.

What's on the line

The marquee prizes on the board — a car, 1 Bitcoin, and $1,000,000 — get won live at the Mega Event by players who complete the run under official, verified conditions. Read how the Mega Event works for the full picture. To chase the mega prizes your run must be verified — live-streamed or captured in the TDBA App.

It is a skill-based challenge, not a sweepstakes: nobody wins by luck, and joining the line costs nothing.
