120 SECONDS. A THOUSAND POSSIBILITIES.

A football mind game.

You are the coach, not the quarterback. Choose the play, read the defensive look and decide when a second is worth more than a yard. Every drive tells a different story.

  1. 01

    Read the situation

    The score, clock, downs and distance set the problem. Your target tells you whether a tie is enough.

  2. 02

    Trust your playbook

    Eight calls, four defensive looks and two tempos. Each choice changes your odds and the time you spend.

  3. 03

    Learn from every drive

    Review your decisions with a score based on the situation before each snap. Good calls can still have unlucky results.

A FEW THINGS TO KNOW

From the sideline

Is this based on real teams or real games?＋

No. Every team, matchup, scenario and field graphic is fictional and original. This is an independent simplified football strategy game with no league or team affiliation.

Does everyone get the same daily challenge?＋

Yes. The challenge changes at midnight in America/New_York. The date fixes the scenario, defensive looks and random seed. Repeating the same calls and tempos produces the same outcomes, including after a refresh.

Is there a leaderboard?＋

There is no global leaderboard. First attempts, best strategy scores and completed dates are personal records saved only in this browser. Practice has separate random seeds and does not change your daily records.

Can I win just by choosing the highest-scoring call?＋

Your strategy score grades the quality of your choices before the result. It is a documented heuristic, not a guaranteed winning strategy. Catch probabilities, yardage and turnovers still affect the game outcome.

Will I lose my progress if I close the tab?＋
