The BBC has launched a daily footballer guessing game tied to the FIFA World Cup 2026, challenging fans to identify mystery players using as few clues as possible.
The quiz, created by BBC Sport’s Joe Rindl, follows a simple format where each incorrect guess unlocks a new clue about the mystery footballer.
Players are rewarded for identifying the subject quickly, with scoring built around the number of clues needed before arriving at the correct answer.
A score of three points is considered a solid performance, while reaching four or five points is regarded as exceptional by the quiz’s own standards.
The game resets daily, with a new footballer revealed each day throughout the World Cup 2026 tournament, keeping fans engaged on a consistent basis.
This particular edition marks the 16th instalment in the World Cup series, with previous daily quizzes available to revisit on the BBC Sport website.
The quiz forms part of a wider collection of football and sports puzzles available on dedicated quiz pages hosted by BBC Sport.
Fans can sign up for notifications through those pages, ensuring the latest quizzes are delivered directly to their devices as soon as they are published.
Other available quizzes include naming every nation at the FIFA World Cup 2026, identifying the top scorers for leading nations, and naming every club in the Premier League and EFL.
The Lionesses also feature in the quiz series, with one challenge asking fans to name the ten England women’s players who have earned the most international caps.
The format has proven popular with football audiences looking for an engaging and competitive way to test their knowledge during a major international tournament.
Whether you are a casual fan or a seasoned football expert, the daily quiz offers a fresh and rewarding challenge with each new edition.
