FAQ
What counts as the right year?+
Any year covered by all three players’ spells at the club, based on the start and end years in Wikidata. The shared window is always one stretch of one to four seasons. In the harder rounds it is never more than two.
How is the score worked out?+
100 points for any year inside the window, then 20 fewer for each year you are off: 80 for one year, 60 for two, and so on, down to 0 at five years or more. The share grid shows 🎯 for exact, 🟩 for one year off, 🟨 for 2–3, 🟧 for 4–6 and 🟥 for 7 or more.
Does the dial’s range give the answer away?+
No. The 25-year range is shifted by a random amount each round, so the answer can sit anywhere on it.
Which spells are used?+
Only spells with known start and end years. A spell that is still going counts up to the current year. Players whose dates at the club are missing or don't add up are left out, and so are trios where one player was away during the window, for example out on loan.
Is it the same for everyone?+
Yes. The five daily rounds reset at 00:00 UTC and are identical worldwide, so send friends the link and compare scores.
