How to Play Footbillion

One daily round. Seven football prompts. Your best answers are the ones you nearly forgot.

1

Read the prompt.

Check the competition, season or tournament and the answer label. A player, club, national team, head coach or city may be required. There is more than one correct answer.

2

Start when you’re ready.

The daily round has seven prompts. Each prompt gives you 25 seconds and three attempts. The first timer begins when you press Kick off; each later timer begins when you move to the next prompt.

3

Name one answer that fits.

Type a full name and press Shoot. Supported name variants and accents are accepted. A wrong answer uses one attempt. A correct answer locks in that prompt and shows your points. Three wrong answers, a skip or an expired timer earns zero for that prompt.

4

Try the less obvious answer.

Every valid answer belongs to a rarity tier. Common earns 10 points, Uncommon 25, Rare 50, Epic 70 and Legendary 100. A football fact can be familiar to you and still be a great find.

5

Share your seven squares.

After seven prompts, copy your result or save a share image. Your result contains your points and seven squares, without naming your answers. A new shared daily puzzle arrives at 00:00 UTC.

A quick walkthrough, coming soon.

The written rules above cover everything you need to start.

Midnight for everyone.

The daily reset is always 00:00 UTC. Your next local reset is 00:00 UTC; see your local conversion below. Local clocks may change with daylight saving time; the UTC reset does not.

Easy mistakes to avoid.

  • Being selected for a squad is different from actually taking the field. Read which one the prompt asks for.
  • A national team is different from a player’s citizenship. Use the team represented in the stated competition.
  • League goals exclude cup matches. Shootout kicks are not ordinary match goals.
  • The right name in the wrong season still does not fit. Check the date range.

If you are unsure, try today’s non-spoiler hints. For an untimed first go, start with Warm-up.
