About these football games

Footy Games is four free football games with a new puzzle every day at midnight UK time. They work on any phone or computer and need no account: your results, your day streak and your past scores stay in your own browser.

Footy Top 10

Every day brings one football question with ten ranked answers, such as the most league appearances for a club. Type a player and pick him from the list: a right answer drops into its place on the board with his number, a wrong one costs one of your three lives. It is the game people search for as football Tenable, built on the numbers from each player’s Wikipedia page, so every answer can be checked.

Footy Darts 501

Football darts with real numbers. Everyone starts on 501, and each player you name is a dart: his league appearances or goals for the day’s club come off your score. More than 180 is a bust, and so are the bogey numbers three darts can never score. Check out on zero, or anywhere down to minus 10, in as few darts as you can: alone in the daily challenge, or in a game for two to six players on one phone.

Footy Noughts & Crosses

A three-by-three grid of clubs and countries, also known as football tic tac toe or tiki taka toe. Claim a square by naming a player who fits its row and its column, for example a Frenchman who played for Arsenal. Play the daily grid alone with nine guesses, a friend on the same phone, or the computer.

Who Are Ya?

Guess today’s mystery Premier League player in eight tries. Each guess shows that player’s club shirt, country flag, position, age and shirt number: green where it matches the mystery player, and arrows that tell you whether he is older or younger and wears a higher or lower number. His photo starts blurred and gets sharper with every guess.

The answers, and where the numbers come from

Yesterday’s answers for all four games, and the last 30 days, are on the answers page. Career numbers are league appearances and goals as listed on each player’s Wikipedia page, added up across every spell at a club, loans included. Current squads come from public team lists, and every player photo is a free-licensed picture from Wikimedia Commons, its photographer named on the photo credits page.
