Four Clubs — guess the player from the career
Every day a secret player and four clubs from his career, out of chronological order: it could be his youth club, the club of his peak or a loan in between. You have four tries, and each miss reveals the next club — the first is the least known, the last is the one almost everyone remembers. Free, no sign-up, in English, Portuguese and Spanish.
How to play Four Clubs
Four Clubs is the daily game of guessing a player by his career: four
clubs he played for — out of chronological order — and four tries. The
player is the same for the whole world, it is free and it takes a minute.
The rules, in 20 seconds
- The first club is free. It is on screen before your first guess.
- Guess a name from the list. Type and pick from the suggestions — free text is
not a guess.
- Every miss opens the next club. Four in total.
- Four tries. Get it and the day ends; miss all four and the screen shows who
it was.
The order of the clubs is not the order of the career
The four clubs appear from the least known to the best known, not from the first
to the last of the career. That is on purpose: chronology is what Craque Oculto
does — there the career is revealed in order and the story tightens. Here what is left is the
combination, and that is why four clubs are enough.
The ramp is also what makes the day fair: the first clue is the spell few remember, and the last
one is the big club — the one that saves whoever recognised none of the others.
Loans count, and the years do not show
A spell is a spell: if the player was there on loan, that club can be one of the
four clues. Our database records spells without splitting loan from permanent deal, and refusing
one would be refusing a true fact — the same rule as
Lineup Clubs and Football
Bingo. The years of each spell stay out: with them, the career would rebuild
itself.
Three strategies that work
- Start from the odd link. The first clue is usually the short spell or the
small club — it is what separates knowing the career from knowing the player.
- Add the clues, don't swap them. The four clubs stay on screen: whoever played
for the first two is already a short list.
- Guess names you are sure passed through the club on screen. A miss costs no
clue — it costs a try, and there are four.
The player does not repeat across games
Four Clubs, Craque Oculto and Football Wordle draw from
the same players. So that playing two does not give away the third, the draw keeps 60 days
of distance on each side: today's player here is not the answer in Craque Oculto or
Wordle within that window.
Frequently asked questions
When does the player change?
At midnight, in your device's local time. Everyone plays the same player on the same day.
Is my progress saved?
It is, in your own browser — and separate from the other games: each one has its own stats
and streak.
Does sharing give the answer away?
No. The text carries one square per try and the score: it shows in how many clubs you found
him, but not who he was nor where he played.
Are there other games?
There are: Craque Oculto, Football Bingo and
Football Impostor, among others.
