Triviverse is a collection of eleven free daily football trivia games. Every game runs in your browser with no account, no download and no paywall, and a new matchday of puzzles starts for everyone at midnight UK time.
Triviverse Geography is the sister site: eight daily geography games on the same midnight-UK clock, with their own streaks and leagues.
The geography games are built from published sources rather than written from memory. Maps, outlines and borders come from Natural Earth. Flags and photographs come from Wikimedia Commons under free licences, credited on the page. Country statistics are the World Bank’s World Development Indicators. Recordings come from the Wikitongues project and Google’s FLEURS dataset. Each history question is checked against the place’s Wikipedia article. Each game’s page explains its rules and sources in full.
Alongside the games, the articles section goes through the same data looking for the stories in it: the Premier League’s great journeymen and one-club men, the record scorers in each of Europe’s big five leagues, the biggest transfer of every year, the countries with the most neighbours, and the longest journey you can make by land. Each article is dated and says where its figures come from.
Most football quizzes ask you to recall a fact. The games here try to be things you actually want to come back to the next day, with a shared daily puzzle, a streak worth protecting, and questions that reward knowing football rather than knowing trivia.
It started as a single game and grew into eleven. Each game is a different angle on the same knowledge. Wordle tests whether you can spell a name, Career Path whether you remember a transfer, Pointless whether you remember the squad players nobody else does, and Tic-Tac-Toe whether you know where two parts of football history overlap.
The questions are generated from one database of football records covering squads, transfers, league appearances and goals, international caps and honours, mostly drawn from Transfermarkt’s data. They are not written by hand one at a time. That is what makes a genuinely new puzzle possible every day across eleven games.
The same records check your answers. If a player genuinely played for a club, including a short loan spell, he counts for it. If he never did, he does not, however much it feels like he should have. Each game also applies a recognisability threshold based on how much a player played and where, so the difficulty comes from the question rather than from obscure names.
Every daily puzzle is checked to be solvable before it goes out. Every Tic-Tac-Toe square has at least two well-known answers, every Connections board has exactly one solution, and every Bingo card can be completed inside the time.
Generating questions from data means mistakes are possible. A record can be incomplete, a transfer can be dated wrongly, or a name can be spelled differently from how fans know it. If a question or answer looks wrong, please get in touch and say which game it was, the date you played it, and what you expected. Fixes are made in the underlying data, so a correction applies to every game that uses that record.
Triviverse is an independent project, not a company or a publisher network. It is built and run by one person in the United Kingdom, with no outside investment. Game design, data work and writing are all done in-house.
The games are free and are intended to stay that way. Running costs are covered by advertising. How that works, and how your consent is handled, is set out in the Privacy Policy.
