Quick Start
Learn how punches.fun works — pick 5 tiles, match the winning pattern, and win based on your hits.
🎮 Gameplay Overview
The core idea of punches.fun is simple:
Pick 5 tiles out of 25, and win based on how many match the secretly generated winning tiles.
This page breaks down exactly how a round works and what you can expect.
🧩 The Board
- A 5 × 5 grid of 25 tiles
- Each round contains exactly 5 winning tiles
- Winning tiles are generated before you even pick (provably fair)
You will not see the winning tiles until after you lock in your five choices.
👊 How a Round Works
1. Start a Game
You begin by entering a round with a fixed entry amount (e.g. $1).
2. Pick Your 5 Tiles
Tap or click any 5 tiles on the board. You can change your selection until you confirm.
3. Lock In
When you confirm:
- Your picks are stored
- The game moves to the reveal phase
4. Reveal the Winning Tiles
The system reveals the 5 predetermined winning tiles, generated using a cryptographic fairness system.
5. Get Paid Out Based on Matches
The number of correct hits determines your payout:
- 0/5 → No win
- 1/5 → Small chance hits
- 2/5 → Break-even
- 3/5 → Medium win
- 4/5 → Big win
- 5/5 → Rare jackpot moment
Different modes may adjust payout scaling and volatility.
