How to play

Guess the Clubs: a random player is picked. Name real clubs from their career. No repeats and no wrong guesses, and it is untimed.

Guess the Player: a player's career is shown with club dates and league appearances. Identify the footballer from that career.

Pep's Rondo: you get a question with a long list of correct answers, such as every team at the 2018 World Cup or every stadium used in the Premier League, and you name as many as you can. In Solo and the Daily Challenge you get three misses: the first is a warning, the second costs your streak but you carry on, the third ends the run. A repeat counts as a miss too. Once you have reached the target the streak is banked, so misses after that can end the run but cannot take it back. Solo Rondo runs on a 30 second clock, and running out of time ends the game. In multiplayer one wrong answer puts you out, and so does your clock.

In Solo and the Daily Challenge you don’t have to name them all. Each question shows a number to reach. Hit it and your streak goes up, fall short and it resets to zero. Reaching it does not end the game: you carry on for as long as your misses and the clock allow, so you can see how many you can name. A few answers are worth more than one, where the same name fills two slots in a question, and the counter shows that. Easy Mode halves that number and turns the clock off. Streaks are unaffected by an Easy Mode game, in either direction.

Spelling is forgiving in Pep's Rondo: nicknames, missing accents and near misses all count. “Spurs”, “Gundogan” and the old name of a rebranded stadium are all accepted, and a club can be named by its town alone where that is not shared: “Norwich” counts, while “Manchester” asks which one.

Multiplayer

• Pick Clubbed 2 Death or Pep’s Rondo, then 1, 3 or 5 rounds. Guess the Player is solo only for now.
• Clubbed 2 Death is the bidding game: players bid how many clubs they can name, then the winning bidder names that many. It is untimed, so take as long as you need.
• Pep’s Rondo is always timed, because it is a race.

Pep’s Rondo takes 2 to 4 players and works differently:

• Pick your jersey colour in the lobby. No two players can wear the same one; leave it and you’ll be given one.
• A wheel spins to decide who goes first, then you take it in turns to name one answer each.
• A wrong answer, an answer already given, or your clock running out puts you out of that round. Last player standing wins the point.
• Name the final answer on the board and you win the round outright.
• Before anyone has answered, a majority can vote to skip the category: 2 of 2, 2 of 3, or 3 of 4.
• The timer is per turn, not shared, and resets for each player.

Solo

Choose Guess the Clubs, Guess the Player or Pep’s Rondo. Guess the Clubs and Guess the Player are untimed; Pep’s Rondo is timed unless you tick Easy Mode. Your progress and streak are stored on this device, and you can back them up from the Stats panel.

Daily Challenge

Everyone gets the same deterministic daily challenge. The daily game type is randomly mixed between Guess the Clubs, Guess the Player and Pep’s Rondo.
