Joe Rindl of BBC Sport has introduced today’s installment of the broadcaster’s popular football quiz series. The primary feature, titled ‘Who Am I?’, challenges users to identify a Premier League player, referred to as star number 79, using the fewest guesses possible.
The game operates on a progressive reveal system; each incorrect guess unlocks an additional clue. Participants are scored based on their efficiency, with higher points awarded for solving the puzzle while requiring fewer hints.
Following the main identification challenge, users are invited to test their speed in ‘Five in Five’, a timed round where the objective is to provide five correct answers within a five-minute window. For those seeking a greater mental workout, the ‘Brainteaser’ offers a particularly difficult question that allows players five lives before the solution is revealed.
BBC Sport has also directed readers to its dedicated Football Quizzes and Sports Quizzes pages for further engagement, offering options to sign up for notifications to receive new puzzles directly on their devices. Related content includes previous quizzes focused on naming every club in the Premier League and EFL, as well as identifying the top England Lionesses by caps.
Five in Five is way too fast for my liking. Needs more time or I’ll keep failing miserably!
Love the Who Am I feature! Tried today’s round and nearly guessed it on the second hint. Truly challenging.
