🎮 Game Modes
🧠
Quiz Mode
Classic
  • Answer 10 football questions in a row — choose from Easy, Medium, Hard, or Mix difficulty.
  • Each correct answer earns points. Wrong answers cost you a ❤️ life. Run out of lives and the round ends early.
  • A speed bonus rewards quick answers — the faster you answer, the more points you score.
  • Build a streak of correct answers inside the quiz to multiply your score even further.
  • Finish a round to see your result screen with a full question-by-question breakdown.
🏳️
Daily Lineup — Guess the Team
Daily
  • Every day at midnight UTC a new mystery team lineup drops.
  • You see 11 player positions on a pitch. Each dot shows the player's shirt number — no names, no flags.
  • Type or pick the team name from the search box. Every wrong guess costs a ❤️ and removes that team from the options.
  • Use the ⚡ Superpower button to reveal the multiple-choice options (costs −10 pts but makes it much easier).
  • Answer faster for a speed bonus on top of the base 12 pts. You have 60 seconds.
🕵️
Daily Player — Guess the Player
Daily
  • A mystery footballer is hidden behind up to 6 progressive clues: nationality, current club, position, age, market value, and more.
  • Guess with clue 1 only and score the maximum points (up to 15). Each new clue revealed reduces the points available.
  • Every wrong guess automatically unlocks the next clue — so the game rewards bold early guesses.
  • You have a 60-second timer. Time out and a life is lost. The clue sequence is the same for all players globally each day.
  • The more clues you need, the lower your score — challenge yourself to get it in one!
💸
Transfer Trail
Daily + Multiplayer
  • A mystery player's career is presented as a sequence of transfer moves: year, from club, to club, and fee.
  • Initially only the first transfer is revealed. Each wrong guess unlocks the next one.
  • You have 3 mistakes before the game ends — use them wisely.
  • The fewer transfers you need to see, the higher your score (up to 5 pts for the first guess).
  • A hint about the player's nationality or era is shown above the transfer list to help you get started.
🏟️
Guess the Lineup
Daily + Multiplayer
  • A full 11-player team is displayed on a pitch. Each player is represented by a numbered dot — just their shirt number.
  • Type any player's name in the search bar and pick from autocomplete suggestions drawn from our full player database.
  • Guess correctly and the dot turns green with the player's name. You can guess in any order.
  • You have 3 mistakes total across the whole lineup — mistakes count across all players, not per player.
  • Your score is based on how many players you correctly identify before running out of mistakes.
🔥
Hot Take
Daily
  • One bold football opinion is presented every day — agree or disagree?
  • Vote once per day and instantly see the live percentage split across all players.
  • No right or wrong answer — just pure footballing debate. See if you're in the majority or minority.
  • Hot Takes refresh daily alongside the other daily challenges.
📊
Higher or Lower
Always on
  • Two footballers appear side by side. Your job: guess which one has the higher current market value.
  • Keep your streak going for as long as possible — each correct guess advances to the next pair.
  • Market values come from real transfer market data and update regularly.
  • One wrong answer ends your run. Can you beat your personal best?
⚡
Friendly Match — Multiplayer
1v1 Real-time
  • Create a room and share the 6-character code with a friend. They join, you both ready up, and the match begins.
  • A match consists of 4 rounds played back-to-back: Quiz, Guess the Team, Transfer Trail, and Guess the Lineup.
  • Each player takes turns — while one plays, the other watches a live spectator view showing their progress in real time.
  • Before the match starts, each player picks which lineup, transfer puzzle, and lineup to send to their opponent — or chooses random.
  • The host can configure points per mini-game. After all 4 rounds the player with the most total points wins.
  • Invite friends directly from the lobby using the friends list, or share the room code via any messaging app.
📈
Leaderboard & Ranking
Global
  • All quiz scores and daily challenge points accumulate into your global total score.
  • The leaderboard shows the top 50 players worldwide, ranked by total score.
  • Your personal rank is shown at the top of the leaderboard screen — even if you're outside the top 50.
  • Play daily to earn streak coins, climb the rankings, and compete with friends.
❤️
Lives & Coins
Meta
  • You start with 3 ❤️ lives. Wrong answers and timeouts cost a life.
  • Lives regenerate automatically — one life every 30 minutes up to the maximum of 3.
  • Earn 🪙 50 coins every day you complete your first daily challenge. Your streak increases too.
  • Spend coins to instantly buy back a heart if you run out — so you never have to stop playing.
