TRIVIA MATCH FC

The football quiz you play like a match

Trivia Match FC is a free football trivia game. Every question is your next touch: answer well and you play a through ball or score, answer badly and you lose the ball and the CPU comes at you. Twelve questions make ninety minutes.

How to play

  1. Kick off. You get a question and 20 seconds to type the answer.
  2. Your answer is graded: perfect, close, scrappy, wrong or too slow.
  3. The grade, and where the ball is, decide what happens on the pitch.
  4. After twelve questions it is full time. Share your result.

When you have the ball

Perfect: a through ball two zones forward, or a shot that usually goes in. Close: you move up one zone, or get a shot away. Scrappy: sideways, backwards, blocked, or picked off. Wrong or too slow: you lose it and they break two zones.

When they have it

Perfect: you win the ball and break. It never fails. Close: you slow them down. They cannot score. Scrappy: they move a zone nearer. In your box, they usually score. Wrong or too slow: they burst through. In your half, expect a goal.

Questions are easier in your own half and harder, and worth more, near their goal. Number answers score by how near you are. Spelling does not have to be perfect, and a surname is enough.

Daily Match and practice

The Daily Match is the same twelve questions for everyone, once a day, with a new one at midnight UK time. Your result comes as a grid of coloured squares you can paste into the group chat without giving any answers away.

Practice matches are unlimited and random, from a bank of hundreds of questions.

Points and the leaderboard

You score points for how good each answer is, multiplied by how hard the question was, plus speed, streaks, goals, the result and a clean sheet. Sign in with your email to put your Daily Match score on the leaderboard: one ranked match per account per day.
