What is Grimace Penalty?
Grimace Penalty is a free, quick-fire penalty game with a meme twist: you take shots against Grimace in goal, and three misses ends your run. Place your kicks well and keep the streak alive.
The challenge is Grimace himself — he shifts unpredictably across his line, so you can’t just blast it. You have to read his movement and aim for the space he leaves.
It’s pick-up-and-play and built for the phone in portrait, which makes it a perfect 60-second arcade hit between trivia rounds.

How to win at Grimace Penalty
Study his pattern. The official tip — watch Grimace’s movements to plan where the gap will be before you shoot.
Vary your angles. Don’t aim the same spot twice; mix corners to exploit wherever he isn’t covering.
Wait out his drift. Let Grimace move toward one side, then place the ball the other way.
Take the safe opening. With only three misses allowed, choose the higher-percentage gap over the spectacular shot.
Stay agile. React to his last-moment shifts rather than deciding your shot too early.
Good to know — Grimace Penalty is a streak-survival twist on the penalty game — there’s no five-kick limit, just three misses before it’s over, so every single shot carries weight.
