Kickoff Daily is a set of free football puzzles with a new matchday every day. In The Player, guess the mystery footballer in six tries from their nation, position, age and shirt number. In Cult Heroes, a daily football quiz, name a player for each of five questions, and score more for the forgotten names. The Rise is football higher or lower on career goals, assists and appearances.
No download and no sign-up needed: play in your browser on your phone or computer, share your result with friends, and come back tomorrow for a new matchday.
Pick Cult Heroes if you remember transfers, title-winning squads and the names on the bench. Choose The Player if you enjoy narrowing a shortlist with clues. The Rise suits a quick run of decisions about career statistics, with another run available whenever you finish. Each game page includes its own rules, examples and tactics below the board.
Cult Heroes and The Player reset at midnight UTC. That is midnight in the UK during GMT and 1am during British Summer Time. The countdown above shows the time remaining. Everyone plays the same daily questions and mystery player; The Rise draws new comparisons as you play.
