The Qwartz Purple Shot gets the arena buzzing at its first event

Published on October 13, 2026

On Sunday evening, during the victory against Strasbourg, the adidas Arena hosted a spectacular event with the first edition of the Qwartz Purple Shot, a challenge devised in collaboration with our partner QWARTZ, a shopping centre in the Hauts-de-Seine (92).

A highlight between the third and fourth quarters

With Paris Basketball leading by 18 points, a young fan and his parents were invited onto the court to take on the challenge together and try to win up to €5,000 worth of QWARTZ gift vouchers. Three shots, three family members: the Qwartz Purple Shot is, above all, a game to be enjoyed as a family, right in the heart of a basketball match.

As a reminder, each successful shot earns a prize in QWARTZ gift vouchers: €50 for a free throw, €100 for a three-pointer and €4,850 for a shot from the centre line.

There were no winners this time round, but the suspense was palpable and the atmosphere exceeded all our expectations. Spurred on by Dandyguel, our MC, the crowd went wild with every attempt.

It’s all about the show, for the whole family

At Paris Basketball, the result on the court matters, and we got it: our players secured a 98–84 victory over Strasbourg. But our aim is also to put on a real show for our fans, young and old alike, from start to finish. With the Qwartz Purple Shot, QWARTZ played right along and helped make this match a wonderful family evening.

New participants, same excitement: the challenge will return throughout the Betclic ÉLITE season, with the next event taking place on Sunday 8 November against Bourg-en-Bresse. Which family will be the next to take up the challenge on the court at the adidas arena?

Paris Basketball is delighted to count QWARTZ amongst its partners so that, together, we can experience these moments of excitement and togetherness.
