What is Futchbol?
Futchbol is a free-to-play football guessing game for fans of the beautiful game. Each round presents a mystery footballer described by their position, nationality, club history, and major honours. Your job: name the player from the clues. Faster guesses with fewer hints earn more points and climb the global leaderboard.
With over 925 footballers in our database — covering every era from the 1970s to the present day, every major league from the Premier League to Serie A, La Liga, Bundesliga, Ligue 1, Eredivisie, and beyond — Futchbol is built for fans who can name a Brazilian winger from a 2003 Eredivisie squad as easily as they can recall yesterday's Champions League goalscorer.
Four Game Modes
- Daily Challenge — One mystery footballer per day, the same player worldwide. Build streaks for bonus points.
- Weekly Time Trial XI — Race the clock to name 11 players in sequence. Compete on the global weekly leaderboard.
- Hot Potato — Multiplayer survival. Pass the bomb by guessing correctly. Last fan standing wins.
- Head-to-Head — Real-time duels with a friend or random opponent. First to type the correct name wins the round.
How Scoring Works
Futchbol uses a difficulty-weighted scoring engine. Easy household names earn fewer points; obscure cult heroes multiply your reward. The base score of 100 is multiplied by a difficulty factor (1× to 3×) and a streak multiplier (capped at 2×). Asking for extra clues costs 5 points each. Time penalties tick up gradually. The minimum floor per win is 10 points, so even tough guesses are rewarded.
Built for Football Fans
Whether you grew up watching Diego Maradona at Napoli, Thierry Henry at Highbury, Ronaldinho at the Camp Nou, or Erling Haaland at the Etihad, Futchbol has a player you'll recognise — and plenty more you'll have to dig deep to remember. Every player profile is verified against authoritative football data sources. We add new players weekly and refine difficulty ratings using community feedback.
