⚡ Quickstart (60 seconds)
Simple concept: pick scorelines before each match kicks off, earn points when results land. Your picks lock at kick-off — no edits after that — so get them in early.
🃏 The Joker
Each round you get one Joker. Apply it to any match you haven’t yet predicted and your points for that match are doubled. It’s the biggest single decision you’ll make each round — pick wisely.
How to use it
On any match card, tap the 🃏 button (next to Home / Draw / Away). The card glows purple to confirm it’s active. Tap again or hit Remove joker to move it to a different match — as long as that match hasn’t kicked off yet.
Save it for a match you’re very confident about the result — not necessarily the most exciting game. An exact score with a Joker is 6 points.
⭐ Round Multipliers
Some rounds are worth more than others. Knockout rounds — Quarter-finals, Semi-finals, and the Final — carry a score multiplier (shown as a badge on the round header and each match card).
How it works
If a round has a ×2 multiplier, every point you earn in that round is doubled automatically. A correct result is worth 2 pts, an exact score is worth 6 pts — and if you also use your Joker on that match, it stacks to 12 pts.
The Joker works on top of the round multiplier. In a ×2 round, a Jokered exact score = 3 × 2 × 2 = 12 pts.
🏆 Tournament Picks
Before the tournament kicks off you get to make three bonus predictions — these lock once the competition starts and can’t be changed.
Tournament Winner
Which team lifts the trophy? Get it right and earn bonus points at the end.
Runner-up
Which team finishes as the losing finalist?
Golden Boot
Which player will finish as the tournament’s top scorer?
Use the 🎯 Tournament Picks tab before the first match kicks off.
🔒 When do picks lock?
Each match locks individually at kick-off. So if you’ve predicted some of Tuesday’s games but not others, the games you haven’t predicted yet remain editable right up to their own kick-off times.
The countdown on each card shows exactly how long you have left. When it turns red, you’re under 2 minutes — act fast.
Match is live = locked. Match hasn’t kicked off = still editable. Simple as that.
Your Joker can be moved between matches right up until the match you’re moving it to kicks off. You can’t apply it to a match that’s already live or final.
👥 Teams & Leagues
Teams are your private groups — create one for your mates, family, or office, share the join code, and compete against each other on a dedicated leaderboard. You can be in multiple teams at once — the same predictions feed into all of them.
Leagues are a step further — team admins can create a named league (e.g. “Office League 2026”) inside their team, giving it a season label and its own leaderboard history.
Create a team
Name your team, share the join code with friends. They enter it on the Teams tab to join.
Create a league
Team admins can create a named league inside their team from the Leagues tab.
The ⚡ Feed tab shows live activity — exact score hits, team joins, and more. Worth checking during matchdays.
Use the 🏟️ Teams tab to create or join, then 🥇 Leagues to create a private league.
❓ FAQs
Do I need an account to play? ▾
Yes — you need to Login / Register to submit predictions, join teams, and appear on leaderboards. You can browse the game without logging in but can’t save picks.
When exactly do predictions lock? ▾
Each match locks individually at its own kick-off time. The countdown on each card shows exactly how long you have. Once a match is live, that pick is locked and cannot be changed.
How does the Joker work? ▾
You get one Joker per round. Apply it to any unlocked match by tapping the 🃏 button on the match card. Your points for that match are doubled — so an exact score gives 6 pts instead of 3. You can move it freely between unlocked matches until the match you’re applying it to kicks off.
What are round multipliers? ▾
Knockout rounds (Quarter-finals, Semi-finals, Final) can have a score multiplier — shown as ×2 or ×3 on the round and match cards. All points in that round are multiplied automatically. The Joker also stacks on top, so a Jokered exact score in a ×2 round is worth 12 points.
What are Tournament Picks? ▾
Before the tournament starts you can predict the Winner, Runner-up, and Golden Boot scorer. These lock once the competition begins and bonus points are awarded at the end. Find them in the 🎯 Tournament Picks tab.
How do I check what I submitted? ▾
Use the 📋 My Picks tab — it shows every prediction you’ve saved for the selected round, along with the result and points earned once matches are final. Think of it as your receipt for the matchday.
Can I be in more than one team? ▾
Yes. You can join multiple teams and your predictions feed into all of them simultaneously — one set of picks, multiple rivalries.
What if I miss a match and don’t predict? ▾
You’ll score 0 for that match. Jump back in for the next fixtures — the tournament is long and momentum can swing quickly, especially in the knockout rounds where multipliers kick in.
Can I add the game to my phone’s home screen? ▾
Yes! On iPhone: tap the Share button in Safari then “Add to Home Screen”. On Android: Chrome will prompt you automatically, or tap the three-dot menu and choose “Add to Home Screen”. The game opens full-screen like a native app.
