I made a football guessing game where every second costs you points

I made Clue XI, a browser-based football quiz built around recognising players from their career histories.

Instead of receiving every clue at once, the game progressively reveals the clubs and years a player appeared for, then their league appearances and goals, position and nationality. Your score keeps falling with time, and wrong guesses reduce it further, so recognising an unusual career path early feels genuinely rewarding.

The database has grown to more than 12,000 male players from Europe’s five major leagues, covering 1980 onwards. I have also added a once-per-day Daily XI, club, league and nationality modes, friend rooms and ranked 1v1 matches.

It is free to try on mobile or desktop, with three guest games before registration: https://cluexi.co.uk/

I’d love feedback from people seeing it for the first time—particularly whether the rules are understandable without explanation and whether the interface feels polished on a phone.
