How to play PuckIt
PuckIt takes a minute to pick up: skate into the puck to carry it, pass it around, and wind up a shot to beat the goalie. Here's everything in one place.

Shooting
- Hold to wind up. The longer you hold Space, the harder the shot. A quick tap rarely beats a goalie.
- Aim as you release. Hold a direction as you shoot to pick high, low or the corners.
- One-timers. When a teammate passes to you, a ONE-TIMER marker appears: shoot as the puck arrives and it's gone before the goalie can set.
Passing and hitting
- Pass early. Goalies stop most shots from players who skate in alone; a cross-ice pass is the best chance you'll get.
- Skate hard into the puck carrier to knock the puck loose. Turbo makes the hit bigger and gets you back on defence.
Goalie
Play goalie from the draft. Stay square to the shooter, and remember the corners are where goals come from.
Tips
- New? The short tutorial from the front page teaches carrying, shooting and passing in a couple of minutes.
- Practice against Rookie bots first, then work up to Regular and Pro.
Questions
How do I shoot harder in PuckIt?
Hold Space longer before releasing. The shot gets harder the longer you wind up.
How do I do a one-timer?
Have a teammate pass to you and press shoot as the puck arrives. A ONE-TIMER marker shows when it's on.
Does PuckIt work with a controller?
Yes. A shoots, B is Turbo and X passes, and the buttons can be remapped in Settings.
