2. Our Game Portfolio
⚽ Football Grid (3x3 Matrix)
Inspired by Tic-Tac-Toe and classic Immaculate Grid puzzles, players cross-reference clubs, nationalities, and major tournament trophies to fill all 9 cells. Offers both a synchronized 30-minute global daily challenge and a competitive 1v1 live duel mode.
🕵️ Who Are Ya? (Mystery Footballer)
A deductive reasoning game where players attempt to uncover a hidden superstar in 8 attempts or fewer. Each guess unlocks precise clues regarding nationality, league, club, position, age, and FC 26 overall rating.
3. Database Integrity & Historical Accuracy
A trivia game is only as good as its underlying data. We maintain a curated database of over 1,500 active elite footballers spanning Europe’s Top 5 leagues (Premier League, La Liga, Serie A, Bundesliga, Ligue 1) as well as major global competitions.
- Verified Transfers: Club appearances account for official senior first-team tenures, accurately reflecting loan deals and recent transfer windows up to the 2025/2026 season.
- Major Honors: Trophies such as the UEFA Champions League, FIFA World Cup, and continental championships are strictly audited according to official tournament regulations and medal rosters.
- Dual Nationalities & Eligibility: National team affiliations strictly mirror official FIFA senior representation rules.
