Football Trivia Duel

A 1v1 football trivia game for iOS and Android. Two players are matched online and race through the same rounds — three modes, ranked matches with trophies and divisions, and a solo mode for practice.

  • Get it on Google Play
  • Coming soon to App Store Soon

The iPhone version is on its way to the App Store.

How a duel works

Four rules hold the whole thing up.

  • 1 First to three — except in one mode

    Every round is worth exactly one point, and the first correct answer takes it. Career Path and Sudden Death are first to three, so a duel runs three to five rounds. Mystery Player is first to two, because a single round of questioning can run for minutes.

  • 2 The same clues, both sides

    Neither player ever sees something the other does not. You are racing on identical information, which is the only way the result means anything.

  • 3 A wrong guess costs you time, not the round

    Only a correct answer closes a round. Guess wrong and you can keep going — but in the two racing modes you get two guesses in a row before the field waits for your opponent to take one.

  • 4 Pass when you are stuck

    Passing gives up your own turn without a random guess. Your opponent can still take the round; if you both pass, the answer is revealed and a fresh round deals.

Three ways to play

Each mode asks about football differently, and each one is playable online against a real opponent or solo against nobody but yourself.

  • A footballer seen from behind, facing a stadium lit in green.
    Mode one

    Career Path

    Every club a player passed through, in order, revealed all at once. Read the transfer history and name the footballer before your opponent does.

  • A burning football under a scoreboard reading 2-2 at 90:00.
    Mode two

    Sudden Death

    Two clubs are shown. Name a footballer who played for both. There is usually more than one right answer — any player in the intersection scores.

  • A silhouetted player behind a magnifying glass, a question mark where the face should be.
    Mode three

    Mystery Player

    A secret footballer and two alternating turns. Ask yes/no questions about nationality, position, career and current status, then guess. This mode is first to two points.

On the phone

Mystery Player asking its questions, and Sudden Death waiting for the name two clubs share.

Mystery Player mode: clue categories to ask about, and a field to type a player name.
Sudden Death mode: SL Benfica and Bayern Munich shown as the two clubs to find a shared player for.

Progress that means something

Ranked 1v1 is the only place trophies, levels and energy move at all.

  • 3ways to play
  • 10divisions to climb
  • 14player levels
  • ±30trophies a match

Ten divisions

Every ranked result moves your trophy count thirty either way, and ten divisions sit on top of it — Division 10 is where everyone starts, Division 1 is the summit. Promotion lands the instant a win crosses the line. Relegation does not: a demotion shield absorbs the first two losses taken at a division's floor, so one bad evening cannot undo a climb.

It gets harder as you climb

The answer is drawn from a pool that widens with your division. In Division 10 it comes from the 400 best-known footballers and 25 clubs; by Division 1 that is 3,200 players and 202 clubs — the same question asked of a far deeper bench, where the name you are reaching for is one you have to actually know rather than one you can guess from fame alone. A match is played on the lower-ranked player's pool, so difficulty follows your own climb, never the opponent you happened to draw.

Opponents at your level

Matchmaking pairs on trophies rather than on who has been waiting longest, so the people you meet know roughly what you know, and the game gets harder as you get better. If nobody close is queuing the search widens on its own clock — you are never left watching a spinner for a perfect match that is not there.

Three leaderboards

One ladder, read three ways: global, your own country, and your friends. The country board reads the country on your profile, so a local ranking means what it says rather than guessing from an IP address.

Levels and energy

XP comes from every round you play, more from winning, and there is a bonus for the first win of each day — so a level says how much football you have played, not only how much you have won. Ranked matches cost energy, which refills one every fifteen minutes up to twelve, and the winner gets one back.

Your profile, and every match in it

Matches played, correct answers, games won, clean wins, longest win streak, current division, peak division and peak trophies — all kept per account. Match history lists the online duels behind those numbers, opponent by opponent, friendly matches included, so a rivalry has a record and a bad run has a receipt. Your face comes from the in-app avatar gallery: no photo uploads and no real likenesses.

Friends and solo

Add friends by username or invite code and send them a friendly match, or play solo for as long as you like. Neither costs energy and neither awards trophies: they are there for practice and for fun.

Real careers, not a quiz bank

Every round is generated from a football database of real players and real transfers, so the same club chain is never a stock question with a stock answer. See the kind of career the game is built on.

About Football Trivia Duel

Most football quiz apps leave you alone with a timer. Football Trivia Duel puts someone on the other side of the question: you and a real opponent are dealt the same round at the same moment, and the point goes to whoever gets there first. It is a trivia game about football knowledge, not about tapping the luckiest of four options — in two of the three modes there are no options at all. You type a name, and matching players appear as you type.

The questions come out of real careers. Career Path lays out every club a footballer signed for, in order, and asks you to read the transfer history back to a name. Sudden Death shows two clubs and asks for someone who played for both — the kind of question that separates people who watch football from people who remember it. Mystery Player hands you a secret footballer and a set of yes/no questions about nationality, position, current status and the clubs he turned out for, and you and your opponent take turns narrowing it down.

Ranked matches feed a single ladder, and the ladder feeds the questions. Trophies move thirty at a time, ten divisions sit above them, and each division draws its answers from a wider pool than the one below — 400 footballers and 25 clubs at the bottom, 3,200 and 202 at the top — so climbing is also what makes the game harder. Fourteen player levels track everything you play rather than only what you win. Energy limits how much ranked football you can play at a stretch; solo runs and friendly matches against people on your friends list cost nothing and award nothing, so there is always somewhere to practise.

The app is free, in English and Turkish, and built once in Flutter for both iOS and Android. It collects an account, a username, your store account’s country and your progress. There is no analytics SDK and no crash-reporting SDK in it — the one third party inside is Google’s ad service — and deleting your account takes two taps inside the app.

Common questions

The things people ask before installing.

Is Football Trivia Duel free?

Yes. The app is free to download and free to play. Ads pay for it, and optional subscriptions remove the ads or lift the energy limit. Nothing you can buy changes which questions you get or who you are matched against.

How many points win a match?

Three in Career Path and Sudden Death. Mystery Player is the exception: it is first to two, because one round of yes/no questioning can take minutes on its own.

Can I play against my friends?

Yes. Add someone by username or by invite code, then send them a friendly match. Friendly matches cost no energy and award no trophies — they are for fun, not for the ladder.

Does the game get harder as I improve?

Yes, and by design rather than by feel. The pool a round is drawn from widens with your division: Division 10 asks about the 400 best-known footballers and 25 clubs, Division 1 about 3,200 players and 202 clubs. Matchmaking also pairs you on trophies, so the opponents rise with you.

Can I play alone?

Yes. Every mode has a solo version that pulls real rounds from the same database, with no opponent racing you. Solo runs are endless and keep a best score per mode, but they neither cost nor award anything.

Does it work offline?

No. Rounds are generated from a live football database and duels are played against real opponents, so the app needs a connection even in solo play.

Which platforms is it on?

iOS and Android. It is built once in Flutter and shipped natively to both, so neither platform gets a cut-down version. The Android version is out now on Google Play; the iPhone version is on its way to the App Store.

What data does the app collect?

An account, a username, your store account’s country, and your progress. No real name, no phone number, no location, no contacts, and no analytics or crash-reporting SDK. Ads come through Google AdMob. The privacy policy lists the whole of it.
